Ingredients

• 2 cups Plain bread crumbs (unseasoned)
• 2 tablespoons Dried parsley
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Dried basil
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper (optional)
• 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for a slight kick)

Directions

Step 1

Start with plain, unseasoned bread crumbs. If you don’t have ready-made bread crumbs, make your own by toasting slices of low-sodium bread until dry and golden, then blending them in a food processor until finely crushed.

Step 2

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the plain bread crumbs with dried parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dried basil, black pepper (if using), and crushed red pepper flakes (if using).

Step 3

Mix thoroughly to ensure all the seasoning is evenly distributed throughout the bread crumbs.

Step 4

Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. If you want more flavor without adding sodium, increase the quantity of herbs or garlic and onion powder.

Step 5

Transfer the seasoned bread crumbs to an airtight container or jar for storage. Label the container and store it in a cool, dry place for up to 6 months.

Step 6

Use these low-sodium Italian bread crumbs as a healthier alternative in recipes calling for regular seasoned bread crumbs.
