A crispy plant-based schnitzel made with seitan — a great alternative for anyone looking for a familiar texture and a filling meat-free main dish.

Ingredients

• 400 g ready-made seitan
• 3 tbsp flour
• 100 ml unsweetened plant-based milk
• 1 tsp mustard
• 1 tsp soy sauce
• 100 g breadcrumbs
• 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• Black pepper
• Oil for baking or frying

Method

1. Cut the seitan into thin slices.
2. Place the flour in one bowl.
3. In a second bowl, mix the plant-based milk, mustard, and soy sauce.
4. In a third bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with the spices.
5. Coat each piece of seitan first in flour, then in the liquid mixture, and finally in the breadcrumbs.
6. Bake in a lightly greased tray at 200°C for about 20 minutes, turning halfway through.
7. You can also fry the schnitzels for a more classic result.
