Units Scale

Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons salted butter
  • 2 cups panko
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley (or alternatively, dried thyme, oregano, and/or basil)
  • 2 teaspoons red pepper flakes (or, alternatively, for a milder flavor, paprika), optional

Instructions

  1. Add butter to a large frying pan over medium-low heat. Once melted, add panko, garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley, and, if using, red pepper flakes or paprika. Cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes, tossing in the pan as you go to ensure panko is evenly toasted. When it’s fragrant and golden brown, remove from heat and set aside until ready to use.
