Ingredients
1/4 cup olive oil
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
Pinch kosher salt
3 cloves garlic, smashed
1/2 loaf Italian bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
24 frozen mini meatballs, heated through according to package instructions
24 leaves fresh basil
24 mini fresh mozzarella balls (1/2-ounce size or ciliegine)
Grated Parmesan, for serving
Warm marinara sauce, for serving
Directions
Special equipment:
12 wooden skewers- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- In a small pot over medium heat, add the olive oil, Italian seasoning, salt and garlic. Bring to a simmer and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Transfer the oil mixture to a large bowl and toss with the bread cubes. Spread the cubes in an even layer on a baking sheet and bake until golden brown, about 10 minutes.
