Homemade Crispy Baked Fish Sticks

Step 2

Add panko breadcrumbs to a large baking sheet and spread out in an even layer. Spray breadcrumbs with nonstick olive oil cooking spray. Bake for 2 minutes, then stir breadcrumbs (or just give the pan a shake) and then bake for 2-3 minutes or until breadcrumbs are golden brown. Keep heat in the oven.

Line the large baking sheet with an oven safe wire metal rack. Spray with nonstick cooking spray.
