Crispy Vegan Schnitzel with Fresh Lettuce and Tomato

1In a large bowl, mix vital wheat gluten (2 cups), nutritional yeast (1 cup), garlic powder (1 tablespoon), onion powder (1 tablespoon), smoked paprika (1 tablespoon), salt (1 teaspoon), and black pepper (1 teaspoon).

2Add vegetable broth (1½ cups), soy sauce (¼ cup), and olive oil (¼ cup) to the dry ingredients. Mix well to form a dough.

3Divide the dough into equal portions and shape them into schnitzel patties.

4In a shallow dish, combine breadcrumbs (2 cups) and cornstarch (2 tablespoons).

5Coat each schnitzel patty in the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring they are fully coated.

6Heat a pan over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil (¼ cup). Cook the schnitzel patties until golden brown and crispy on both sides, about 4-5 minutes per side.

7Wash and tear the lettuce (1 head) leaves. Slice the tomatoes (2) into rounds.

8Serve the crispy vegan schnitzel on a bed of fresh lettuce (1 head) and tomato slices. Enjoy your delicious vegan meal!
