Recipe Description

This Classic Vegan Schnitzel recipe captures the essence and nostalgia of traditional schnitzels while using entirely plant-based ingredients. The schnitzels are made from a satisfying blend of chickpeas and vital wheat gluten, delivering a texture that’s both tender and chewy, reminiscent of the classic dish. Seasonings like nutritional yeast, garlic powder, and smoked paprika give these vegan schnitzels a depth of flavor that is incredibly satisfying. Breaded with a mix of breadcrumbs and spices, and fried to golden perfection, this dish offers a delightful crunch with every bite. Serving this alongside a fresh lemon wedge, creamy mashed potatoes, or your choice of vegan gravy can elevate this dish to a new level of comfort food. Whether you’re a long-time vegan or just exploring meat-free options, this schnitzel recipe promises a delicious and satisfying meal experience.
