Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices Whole grain bread
- 5 sprays Olive oil spray
- 1 clove Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Tear the whole grain bread slices into small pieces and spread them on a baking sheet.
Lightly spray the bread pieces with olive oil spray, ensuring an even distribution for a mild coating.
Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and crunchy. Stir the bread halfway through to ensure even toasting.
While the bread bakes, finely chop the garlic clove, parsley, and thyme.
Remove the toasted bread from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
Place the toasted bread in a food processor and pulse until you achieve a coarse breadcrumb texture.
In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, spray a little olive oil and add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, but not browned.
Add the toasted breadcrumbs, red pepper flakes, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir to combine and heat through for about 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the fresh parsley and thyme, mixing well to ensure even distribution of herbs.
Remove the pangrattato from the heat and let it cool completely before storing it in an airtight container.
Use this low fat pangrattato as a topping to add crunch and flavor to various dishes such as pasta, salads, and roasted vegetables.
