Quick & Easy Breadcrumbs

TIME TO MAKE

20 minutes

Ingredients

• Half loaf of stale bread

• 3 tbs oil

• 1 pinch of salt, to taste

• Optional seasonings, mix and match to taste:

  • garlic powder

  • red pepper flakes or chilli flakes

  • parmesan

  • lemon zest

  • herbs and spices

  • freshly cracked pepper

  • chicken salt

  • cinnamon sugar

  • cocoa powder

Method

• Rip bread into chunks and add to food processor. Pulse until as fine as preferred. If you don't have a food processor, cut into small cubes to make croutons instead! The method will be exactly the same.

• Heat oil on medium heat in a large skillet or pan.

• Add in breadcrumbs and salt and continuously mix with a spatula until golden and toasty. Do not let darken too much or it will taste burnt.

• Once golden, pour the crisp crumbs into a bowl and toss with any optional seasonings of choice until seasoning is evenly distributed.

• Allow to cool completely in the bowl.

• Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

Serving Suggestion

Top baked meat, casseroles, salad, or pasta for an extra crispy texture to your meal!
