Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz Dairy-free cheese block
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup Cornstarch
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.75 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 cups Oil for frying
Instructions
Cut the dairy-free cheese block into 1-inch cubes. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Gradually whisk in the unsweetened almond milk to the dry ingredients, creating a smooth batter.
In another bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs with paprika and black pepper.
Heat the oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat to 350°F (175°C).
Dip each cheese cube into the batter, allowing any excess batter to drip off.
Roll the coated cheese cubes in the seasoned panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to ensure they stick well.
Carefully place the breaded cheese cubes in the hot oil, frying a few at a time, until golden brown and crispy on all sides, approximately 3-4 minutes.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the cheese cubes from the oil, and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve immediately for best results, with your choice of dipping sauces if desired.
