Corn schnitzels was by far my favorite childhood lunch choice for years. I love corn so much--the sweetness, the texture, the creaminess of it. I recreated my own homemade version, and it turned out delicious. Crunchy, sweet, salty and decadent. I like to dip mine with homemade Thousand Island Sauce-- just mix ketchup with vegan mayo. It's a great kids-friendly meal. Pair with a zesty tabbouleh salad and you’ll have a balanced, healthy dinner on the table.
