Pan-Fried Vegan Feta
This Pan-Fried Vegan Feta is the most indulgent appetizer. Vegan feta is coated in panko, pan fried and topped with chili onion crunch!
Ingredients
- 1 7-ounce block vegan feta I got mine at Trader Joe's
- aquafaba liquid from a can of chickpeas
- panko breadcrumbs
- 3 tablespoons oil I used avocado
- chili onion crunch oil I got mine at Trader Joe's
- pita bread toasted, for serving
Equipment
Instructions
- If the feta is in liquid, drain it and gently dry it off. Add the aquafaba to one bowl and the panko to another.
- Dredge the feta block in the aquafaba and then the panko - be sure to really press the breadcrumbs into the feta.
- Heat the oil in a skillet over high heat. As soon as the oil is hot (but not smoking), add the block of feta. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden.* Lower the heat slightly if the oil starts to get too hot. Remove from the skillet and place on a plate.
- Drizzle the feta with chili onion crunch oil and serve with toasted pita bread.

Notes
*Tips for frying:
- Try not to check the feta for browning for at least 2 minutes - if you check it too soon the panko may fall off.
- Use a thin spatula to flip - the thinner the better! This will help keep the coating on while flipping.
- If you lose some breadcrumbs after flipping, no problem! Grab some more and press them in - give the feta an extra flip to brown again.
