Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet with a splash of olive oil.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix together the grated Parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
