INGREDIENT NOTES:
ALL-PURPOSE FLOUR:
- It makes the first coating layer on the banana peppers and sticks the batter evenly. This flour gives a crispy crust while baking. Whole wheat flour is a good alternative in tis recipe as well.
BANANA PEPPERS:
- This ingredient gives a tangy taste and gets sweet after cooking. Peppers have a firm texture that makes the perfect coating. Include mini sweet peppers if you are not using banana peppers.
UNSWEETENED VEGAN MILK:
- We mix the milk with the flour and butter to stick the breadcrumbs properly. Soy milk, oat milk, almond milk, or cashew milk gives better results in this recipe. You may use water as another choice.
CORNSTARCH:
- This ingredient gives a lighter and crispier coating of the fries. It makes the crunchy outside layer without deep frying. You may use potato starch as a substitute.
PANKO BREADCRUMBS:
- They give a signature crispy texture and stay crunchy after baking. You may use regular breadcrumbs, but the texture will be denser.
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Heat the oven to 425°F and wash the banana peppers properly.
- Cut the peppers lengthwise in half and take off the seeds to get the milder version.
- In a bowl, include flour, then whisk vegan milk and cornstarch in the second container.
- Mix panko breadcrumbs, nutritional yeast, and seasonings in the third bowl.
- Dip the banana peppers in the flour, then coat with the vegan milk mixture.
- Then press them in the breadcrumbs bowl and coat the tray with baking pepper.
