I can’t wait to try these they look incredible and the photos are just gorgeous!
These soya cutlets look so crispy and crunchy – like the perfect crowd-pleasing appetizer with a healthy twist. Definitely going to have to try these out soon.

P.S. Amazing photography.

Thanks!
Can we bake them instead of frying if yes shat temperature ?
Yes. You can.
Priya, these are so exciting as I’ve been wanting to figure out how to use the soya chunks in some other way… but, we, don’t use any oils at all. What would you suggest for the temperature of the oven and for how long? I live in Ireland, so we’re not so far away! Thank you for this amazing creation!
