Why it works

  • Wheat allergy: Crunch comes from gluten-free panko and simple spices — no wheat anywhere in the crumb.
  • Milk allergy: The dip is a chivey dairy-free mayonnaise, so no milk in anything.
  • Gluten-free: Every crumb is labelled gluten-free, and the seasoning mix is made from single spices.
  • Dairy-free: Olive oil and maple do the browning work here instead of butter.
