Ingredients
- 200 grams Dairy-free cheese block
- 60 grams All-purpose flour
- 120 milliliters Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 120 grams Breadcrumbs
- 500 milliliters Vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Cut the dairy-free cheese block into even, bite-sized cubes approximately 1.5 cm on each side.
Step 2
Set up a breading station with three bowls: In the first bowl, place the flour. In the second bowl, whisk together the almond milk, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. In the third bowl, mix the breadcrumbs and Italian seasoning.
Step 3
Dip each cheese cube first into the flour, making sure to coat it completely. Dust off any excess.
Step 4
Next, dip the floured cheese cube into the seasoned almond milk, ensuring it is fully covered.
Step 5
Finally, roll the wet cheese cube in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the breadcrumbs evenly. Repeat this process for all the cheese cubes.
Step 6
Heat vegetable oil in a deep-frying pan or deep fryer to 180°C (350°F). Ensure there is enough oil to completely submerge the cheese cubes.
Step 7
Carefully place the breaded cheese cubes into the hot oil in small batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry them for about 2-3 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Step 8
Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried cheese cubes from the oil and drain them on a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil.
Step 9
Serve immediately while hot and crispy for the best taste. Enjoy with your favorite dairy-free dipping sauce!
