Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Spread the almonds on a baking sheet and toast them in the oven for about 5 minutes, or until they are lightly golden and fragrant. Watch closely to prevent burning.
Remove the almonds from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
Once cooled, place the almonds in a food processor and pulse until they are finely chopped. Do not over-process, as you want small pieces, not almond flour.
In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the chopped almonds, panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, ground black pepper, dried parsley, and lemon zest.
Melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat.
Pour the melted butter over the almond mixture and stir until all ingredients are well combined and the crumbs are evenly coated.
The low sodium almond crumb is ready to use. Sprinkle it over baked dishes, salads, or roasted vegetables for added texture and flavor.
