Put the dry crumbs in a large bowl and mix the oil in thoroughly with a whisk or pastry blender. (When fully mixed through, you get a negligible amount per serving when coating anything.) Then mix in the rest of the ingredients. Use your imagination. You could make a half recipe and use Italian seasoning instead of Bells; add sesame or poppy seeds, lemon pepper, etc. It does need that little oil to stick to things and brown properly. The original recipe I adapted it from used much more oil. At least there is no MSG or other chemicals or preservatives in this. I keep mine in the freezer. It takes 45 min at 375 degrees to brown.
