- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons coarsely chopped green olives (such as Castelvetrano)

Instructions

Place a cast-iron skillet directly on grill grate and toast breadcrumbs in skillet, tossing occasionally, until golden brown and crisp, about 5 minutes. Transfer toasted breadcrumbs back to bowl and let cool.
