Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a bowl, combine olive oil, chopped fresh parsley, dill, and chives. Mince garlic cloves and add them to the mixture.
Add lemon zest to the bowl, then mix in the whole wheat breadcrumbs, salt, and black pepper. Stir until combined.
