Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces Vegan cheese block
- 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups Unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1.5 cups Panko breadcrumbs
- 4 cups Vegetable oil
Instructions
Cut the vegan cheese block into 1-inch cubes. You should have approximately 16 cubes.
In a medium bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, almond milk, and cornstarch until smooth to create a batter.
In a separate shallow dish, combine nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Place panko breadcrumbs in another shallow dish.
Dip each cheese cube into the flour mixture, making sure it is evenly coated.
Next, roll the cube in the nutritional yeast and spice mixture, ensuring it's well coated.
Finally, dredge the cheese cube in the panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
Repeat the process with all cheese cubes, placing them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Fry the prepared cheese cubes in batches, cooking each side for about 1-2 minutes or until golden and crispy.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried cubes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve the crispy fried cheese cubes immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
