Ingredients
¾ cup raw California walnuts
¼ cup panko breadcrumbs
Directions
Roughly chop the raw California walnuts into small, uneven pieces, leaving some texture. This creates visual interest and ensures varied crunch in the final coating.
Combine the chopped walnuts with the panko breadcrumbs in a shallow bowl or plate, mixing gently until evenly distributed.
Toast the mixture in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant and the walnuts deepen slightly in color. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
Transfer the toasted walnut and panko mixture to a clean plate and let cool for 1 minute before using as a crust coating for your chosen protein or vegetable.
