Use Garlicky Bread Crumbs as a topping for pasta dishes, tacos, salads, and wherever you want a pop of crunchy garlic. I use them in place of Parmesan cheese. This is a something-for-nothing recipe because you can use the heels from your bread loaf or day-old French bread that you might otherwise just throw away.

Instructions
-
Heat oven or toaster oven to 350°.F. Fit your food processor with the stainless-steel blade, turn the motor on high, and drop in garlic. Process until the garlic stops bouncing around. Tear bread into bite-sized pieces and add to the food processor. Add walnuts too. Pulse several times until you have large bread crumbs and roughly chopped walnuts. Sprinkle with nutritional yeast and pulse once, then add olive oil and pulse again a few times.

Pour bread crumbs into a medium sized baking pan, about 7 x 11 inches, and bake for 5 minutes. Stir and bake for 3 more minutes, until well toasted and fragrant.

To serve, sprinkle Garlicky Bread Crumbs over pasta dishes, tacos, salads, and whatever you want. Keeps uncovered for an hour or two or frozen (to keep it crispy) for a month.
