While you may be able to buy reduced carb bread crumbs, you may make them at home by simply using reduced carbohydrate bread. Simply toast the reduced carbohydrate bread in a gas or electric oven on a baking tray. Once it is well browned, process it in your blender. Keep in a tupperware jar or container.
