Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh herbs instead of dried ones?
Yes, you can substitute fresh herbs for dried ones, but keep in mind that you'll need to use more fresh herbs to achieve the same flavor. A general rule of thumb is to use three times the amount of fresh herbs than dried. Just chop them finely and mix them into the bread crumb mixture.
How do I make this mix gluten-free?
To make a gluten-free version of the Miracle Shake And Bake Mix, simply use gluten-free bread crumbs available in stores or make your own by processing gluten-free bread. Ensure that all other ingredients, such as seasonings and cheese, are also gluten-free to maintain the integrity of the mix.
Can I use this mix for baking vegetables?
Absolutely! This mix works wonderfully for vegetables. Simply toss your choice of vegetables in melted margarine, then coat them with the Miracle Shake And Bake Mix before baking. This will give your vegetables a delightful crunch and flavor, making them a perfect side dish.
