Transform your crispy cravings with this homemade Gluten Free Shake N Bake Coating Mix, a game-changer for weeknight dinners or fuss-free entertaining. This quick and easy recipe combines gluten-free breadcrumbs with a medley of aromatic spices—like paprika, garlic powder, and dried herbs—creating a flavorful, crispy coating perfect for chicken, pork, or even roasted vegetables. Ready in just 10 minutes, this versatile mix can be prepped ahead and stored for convenience, making it a healthier and gluten-free alternative to store-bought options. Whether you're baking up a batch of golden chicken tenders or crispy zucchini rounds, this all-purpose coating ensures a crunchy finish that’s full of savory flavor. Cooking gluten-free has never been so irresistibly simple!
In a large mixing bowl, combine gluten-free breadcrumbs, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley, salt, black pepper, dried oregano, and dried basil.
If desired, add an additional teaspoon of smoked or sweet paprika for extra flavor and color.
Drizzle the vegetable oil over the mixture and mix thoroughly with a fork or whisk until the breadcrumbs are evenly coated with the oil and spices. The mixture should resemble a lightly moistened, crumbly texture.
Transfer the coating mix to a large resealable plastic bag or an airtight container for storage. This mix can be stored at room temperature for up to 1 week, or in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
To use the mix, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
Place the desired protein or vegetables (e.g., chicken, pork chops, or zucchini) into a small bowl of beaten egg or a mixture of milk and egg to help the coating stick.
Add the coated pieces to the plastic bag or container with the coating mix, seal it, and shake well until evenly coated.
Place the coated pieces onto the prepared baking sheet and bake according to your protein or vegetable's specific cooking time, flipping halfway through for even browning.
Enjoy your crispy, gluten-free meal!
