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

Directions

Step 1

Cut the vegan cheese block into 1-inch cubes. You should have approximately 16 cubes.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, almond milk, and cornstarch until smooth to create a batter.

Step 3

In a separate shallow dish, combine nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.

Step 4

Place panko breadcrumbs in another shallow dish.

Step 5

Dip each cheese cube into the flour mixture, making sure it is evenly coated.

Step 6

Next, roll the cube in the nutritional yeast and spice mixture, ensuring it's well coated.

Step 7

Finally, dredge the cheese cube in the panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

Step 8

Repeat the process with all cheese cubes, placing them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 9

In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Step 10

Fry the prepared cheese cubes in batches, cooking each side for about 1-2 minutes or until golden and crispy.

Step 11

Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried cubes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 12

Serve the crispy fried cheese cubes immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
