Make schnitzels

4. Preheat oven to 200°C / 400°F and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
5. Pound veal cutlets using a meat mallet to about 0.6cm / 0.25in thickness.
6. Set up a breading station with 3 shallow plates: flour and salt in the first one, beaten egg in the second one, and breadcrumbs in the third one.
7. Dip a cutlet in the flour, then in egg, then in breadcrumbs. Transfer to lined baking sheet. 
Repeat for the remaining cutlets.
8. Spray crumbed cutlets lightly with cooking spray. Bake for 8 minutes or until golden.
9. Serve immediately with cauliflower mash and sweet and sour cabbage. Enjoy!

NOTES

• Don’t skip pounding the meat! It’s a very important step to ensure the schnitzels cook evenly and are tender. If you don’t have a meat mallet, you can use a heavy, flat-surfaced pan to pound the meat instead.
• Brown rice flour may be substituted with wholewheat flour or plain white flour.
• This dish is best served fresh as the schnitzels won’t stay crunchy as leftovers.
• If you don’t like veal, you can also substitute with chicken or pork cutlets. Be sure to add 5-10 minutes to the cooking time as chicken and pork take longer to cook.
• Cauliflower mash and [Sweet and Sour Cabbage](https://recipes.chloeting.com/recipes/sweet-and-sour-cabbage.html) are suggested sides. Feel free to serve the schnitzels with any of your favorite sides instead.
