Place the breadcrumbs in a skillet over medium heat. Drizzle with the olive oil or melted butter and stir to coat evenly.
Add the garlic powder, onion powder, dried herbs, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to distribute the seasoning.
Cook, stirring frequently, for 4 to 6 minutes until the breadcrumbs are golden, crisp, and fragrant. Keep the heat at medium or slightly lower to prevent burning.
Remove from the heat and let cool completely before using or storing.
Notes
Tips for Success
Stir frequently so the breadcrumbs toast evenly.
Lower the heat if needed to prevent burning.
Use both butter and olive oil for extra flavor.
Allow them to cool completely before storing.
How to Store
Store seasoned breadcrumbs in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
For longer storage, refrigerate or freeze them. If needed, re-crisp them in the oven for a few minutes before using.
