How to Make Vegan Schnitzel

Ingredients

• 250 g oats
• 250 ml vegetable broth (Note 1)
• 60 g flour
• 2 tablespoons mustard
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon pepper
• ½ teaspoon paprika powder

• 50 g breadcrumbs (or more as needed)
• Oil for frying

Directions

1. In a mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients. Pour in the vegetable broth and stir well.
2. Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes to soak.
3. Shape the mixture into schnitzels. Press each schnitzel into the breadcrumbs until they are flattened and well-coated.
4. Heat some oil in a pan and fry the schnitzels on both sides until the coating is golden brown.
5. Place them on a plate lined with paper towels or a cooling rack to drain excess oil.

How to Serve Vegan Schnitzel

Vegan Schnitzel is best served hot. You can enjoy it with a side of salad, mashed potatoes, or your favorite dipping sauce. A squeeze of lemon on top can also add a refreshing touch!

How to Store Vegan Schnitzel

You can store leftover schnitzels in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. To reheat, place them in a pan on medium heat for a few minutes on each side until they are warmed through.

Tips to Make Vegan Schnitzel

• Make sure to let the mixture soak long enough, as this helps the oats bind better.
• Adjust the seasoning according to your taste. You can add more spices if you like it spicier.
• If you prefer a thicker coating, add more breadcrumbs during the breading process.

Variation

For a twist on this recipe, try adding herbs like parsley or thyme into the mix for added flavor. You could also experiment with different dipping sauces, such as a vegan mayonnaise or a tangy BBQ sauce.

FAQs

1. Can I use rolled oats instead of instant oats?
Yes, you can use rolled oats, but you may need to blend them slightly to achieve a finer texture.

2. Is this recipe gluten-free?
To make it gluten-free, use gluten-free flour and ensure your breadcrumbs are also gluten-free.

3. Can I bake these schnitzels instead of frying?
Yes, you can bake the schnitzels in the oven at 200°C (400°F) for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through until golden and crispy.
