Pangrattato, or garlic-herb toasted Italian breadcrumbs, adds crunchy texture and savory flavor to your favorite pastas and salads.

  • Total Time: 18 minutes
  • Yield: 1 cup breadcrumbs 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unseasoned breadcrumbs (I prefer panko-style breadcrumbs)
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 large garlic cloves, finely minced
  • 4 large sage leaves, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Cook Olive Oil and Garlic: Heat olive oil and garlic in a large skillet over low heat until the garlic starts to cook and oil is bubbly (you don’t want the garlic to burn!) approximately 5 minutes.
  2. Cook Fresh Herbs: Add the sage and rosemary and stir for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Add Remaining Ingredients: Add in the breadcrumbs, oregano and salt and stir until well coated in the oil.
  4. Cook Until Golden: Increase the heat to medium-high and stir frequently for 5-10 minutes until breadcrumbs are golden brown, being careful not to let it burn.
  5. Cool and Serve: Transfer Pangrattato to a plate and spread it out to help it cool down. Once cool, use as a topping on your favorite dish.
