Ingredients
- 1 cup crushed crackers (such as saltines, Ritz, or panko-style breadcrumbs)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Place crackers in a resealable plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin until fine crumbs form, or pulse in a food processor.
- Transfer crumbs to a shallow bowl. Add garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
- Use immediately to coat food before frying, or store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
Tips
- For extra crunch, use crushed potato chips or cornflakes instead of crackers.
- Season the breading to complement your main ingredient, e.g., add cayenne for heat or dried herbs for flavor.
