A dry coating mix of dried onion, herbs, spices and Parmesan, made in a food processor. Shake it onto chicken, fish or pork chops, then bake or air fry until crisp.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups dried onion
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper blend
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground sage
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 tablespoon sweet paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • 2 bay leaves crushed
  • 1 1/2 cups grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup protein powder or almond flour

Directions

  • Pulse the dried onion in a food processor or blender for 1 minute.
  • Add the salt, pepper blend, cayenne, red pepper flakes, sage, rosemary, paprika, thyme, basil, and crushed bay leaves, and pulse for 1 minute.
  • Add the Parmesan and the protein powder or almond flour, and pulse for about 10 seconds, just until combined.
  • Coat chicken, fish, pork chops, wings, or country-fried steak with the mix, then bake or air fry until crisp and fully cooked.

Notes

1/4 cup per serving. Dry mix airtight, cool, dry, up to about 2 weeks after opening the Parmesan; refrigerate if the Parmesan package says to (FOOD-SAFETY NOTE: contains cheese; refrigerating is the safer default). Refrigerate cooked coated meat within 2 hours; use within 3 to 4 days.
