The easiest way to take any dish to the next level is by finishing it off with crunchy, toasted breadcrumbs. These are my Easy Crunchy Garlic Breadcrumbs and they are perfect for adding to your favorite soups, salads, or pasta dishes.

Ingredients

  • 3 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 4 Cloves Garlic mashed
  • 1 Cup Panko Breadcrumbs
  • ½ Teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • ¼ Teaspoon Ground Black Pepper

Instructions

  • To make these breadcrumbs, start by heating a pan, on the stove, over medium-high heat, and add in the olive oil.
  • Mash the garlic. Once the pan is hot, add the garlic into the pan and stir for 1-2 minutes, watching it carefully so that it doesn't burn.
  • Once the edges of the garlic begin to brown, add in the panko breadcrumbs, sea salt, and ground black pepper. Stir to combine.
  • Allow the breadcrumbs to cook for another 4-5 minutes, until they're toasted and browned. Then, remove them from the heat and allow them to cool.
  • Once the breadcrumbs are done, add them to your favorite recipes. Store them in an airtight jar, in the pantry, for up to one week, and enjoy!
