Elevate your weeknight meals with this quick and versatile Gluten-Free Shake and Bake Mixture! Perfect for creating crispy, flavorful breaded chicken, pork, or even veggie proteins, this homemade blend features gluten-free breadcrumbs infused with a medley of herbs and spices like paprika, garlic powder, dried oregano, and a hint of smoked paprika for added depth. With just 10 minutes of prep time, this make-ahead coating is enhanced with olive oil for superior adhesion and golden browning during baking. Store it easily for up to two weeks in your pantry or freeze it for longer, making it a convenient, gluten-free solution for fuss-free family dinners. Say goodbye to processed store-bought mixes and hello to homemade excellence!
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free breadcrumbs, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
If desired, add smoked paprika and cayenne pepper for additional layers of flavor.
Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while mixing with a fork or whisk. The olive oil helps the mixture adhere better to the protein youβre coating and ensures even browning during cooking.
Transfer the mixture to a large airtight container or a resealable plastic bag for storage. This can be kept in the pantry for up to two weeks or in the freezer for up to three months.
To use, place your chicken or pork pieces in a plastic bag with the shake-and-bake mixture and shake until fully coated. Bake as your recipe directs.
