We took up the challenge of creating a plant-based version of classic pub fare, and were pleasantly surprised by the outcome. Try this chick'n parmi with all the trimmings and you might even trick your tastebuds into thinking you're eating the real deal.

Plant-Based Crumbed Chicken
(Contains: Gluten, Soy, Wheat;)
1 bag

1 packet
Plant-Based Mayonnaise
1 sachet
Aussie spice blend
1 packet
plant-based shredded Cheddar cheese
olive oil
½ tsp
brown sugar
20 g
plant-based butter (for the sauce)
⅓ cup
water
1 drizzle
balsamic vinegar
Preheat the oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Cut the sweet potato into wedges. Place on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle over the Aussie spice blend and season with salt. Toss to coat. Bake until tender, 25-30 minutes.
TIP: If your oven tray is crowded, divide the wedges between two trays.
While the wedges are baking, finely chop the garlic. Cut the tomato into wedges. Grate the carrot.
In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive over a medium heat. Cook the garlic and tomato paste, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute. Add the garlic & herb seasoning, brown sugar, plant-based butter and the water and cook, stirring, until slightly thickened, 3-4 minutes. Season to taste. Transfer to a bowl.
Wipe out the frying pan and return to a medium-high heat with enough olive oil to cover the base. When the oil is hot, cook the plant-based crumbed chicken until golden and heated through, 2-3 minutes each side. Place the plant-based chicken on a second lined oven tray. Top with the tomato sauce and plant-based shredded Cheddar cheese. Bake until the cheese is melted, 5-8 minutes.
While the chick'n is baking, combine a drizzle of balsamic vinegar and olive oil in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Add the tomato, carrot and mixed salad leaves, tossing to coat.
Divide the chick'n parmigiana, sweet potato wedges and salad between plates. Serve with the plant-based mayonnaise.
