Italian Style Seasoned Breadcrumbs
Description
Italian Style Seasoned Breadcrumbs are a simple mixture of plain bread crumbs blended with Italian seasoning and kosher salt. The Italian seasoning typically includes herbs like parsley, basil, oregano, garlic powder, and onion powder that provide a balanced, aromatic flavor. This seasoning mix is designed to enhance the texture and taste of breaded dishes, casseroles, or as a topping. The recipe allows for flexibility by using different types of crumbs or even homemade breadcrumbs. It is easy to prepare and can be stored in an airtight container for up to a year, making it a convenient staple for adding a savory herbal note to many dishes.
The breadcrumbs absorb moisture and seasoning evenly, and their texture supports creating a crisp crust or topping when baked or fried. This blend can be customized by making your own Italian seasoning blend from dried herbs or using fresh herbs if used right away. The recipe advises to omit added salt from the seasoning mix if already present to balance the saltiness.
Ingredients
- 1 cup bread crumbs plain
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning (see notes for making your own)
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- In a small or medium bowl (or jar/container if storing for later), mix the plain bread crumbs (1 cup), the Italian seasoning (1 tablespoon), and the kosher salt (1/2 teaspoon) together.
- Store in an airtight container or jar for up to 1 year, and use in any recipe that requires Italian seasoned bread crumbs.
Notes
- Use whole wheat, regular, or gluten-free bread crumbs depending on dietary needs.
- You can make your own Italian seasoning from a mix of dried parsley, basil, oregano, onion powder, garlic powder, and black pepper.
- Fresh herbs can be used if applying the seasoning immediately; chop finely for best results.
- If your Italian seasoning contains salt, omit the added kosher salt to avoid oversalting.
- Store the seasoned breadcrumbs in an airtight container for up to one year.
