  • 1/2 cup Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs (panko or regular)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or cooking spray.
  2. Mix Mustard and Honey: In a bowl, combine Dijon mustard and honey, then set aside.
  3. Prepare Breadcrumb Mixture: In a dish, mix breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
