Dadinhos de Tapioca (Tapioca Cubes) - Dairy & Egg Free

Ingredients

• 1 cup Tapioca Flour (Granular)
• 2 cups Plant-Based Milk (Unsweetened)
• 1/4 cup Nutritional Yeast
• 1/2 tsp Salt
• 1/4 tsp Black Pepper
• 2 tbsp Olive Oil

Instructions

1. 1In a medium saucepan, combine the 1 cup of Tapioca Flour, the 2 cups of Plant-Based Milk, the 1/4 cup of Nutritional Yeast, the 1/2 tsp of Salt, and the 1/4 tsp of Black Pepper.
2. 2Cook this mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly with a whisk or spoon, for about 5 to 7 minutes. Continue stirring until the mixture becomes very thick and starts to pull away from the sides of the saucepan.
3. 3Pour the thickened tapioca mixture into a greased square baking dish, approximately 8x8 inches in size. Ensure the mixture is spread evenly.
4. 4Allow the tapioca mixture to cool completely at room temperature. Once cooled, cover the dish and refrigerate it for at least 2 hours. This chilling step is important to firm up the mixture so it can be cut.
5. 5Remove the firm tapioca block from the refrigerator and cut it into bite-sized cubes, about 1-inch in size.
6. 6Heat the 2 tbsp of Olive Oil in a large skillet over medium heat, which is about 350°F (175°C).
7. 7Carefully place the tapioca cubes into the hot olive oil. Fry the cubes for about 3 to 5 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and crispy all over.
8. 8Using a slotted spoon, remove the crispy tapioca cubes from the skillet. Place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Serve the Dadinhos de Tapioca hot.
