Ingredients

▢ 1 (8oz/227g) block feta cheese, about 219 grams after drained
▢ 2 tbsp (16g) cornstarch, can also use potato starch
▢ 2 tbsp (1floz/30ml) avocado oil, or more as needed

Instructions

Drain water from feta cheese and pat dry with a paper towel. Cut feta into small cubes, about 3/4 to 1 inch.
Add cornstarch to a small bowl. Roll each cube of cheese in cornstarch, until the cube is coated in a light layer of starch. Shake off or wipe off any excess so the cornstarch layer is not caking or too thick. Place coated cubes on a sheet of parchment paper.
Add oil to a small nonstick skillet (I used a 5.5 inch skillet). If you are using a larger skillet, you may need to add more oil. Bring oil to medium heat over the stove. Once oil is heated, carefully place a few cheese cubes into the hot oil and cook the cubes a few minutes on each side until dark golden brown and crispy. Remove finished cheese cubes and place onto a wire rack to cool slightly and drain off excess oil. Repeat with remaining cubes. If your oil level gets too low, you can add more oil.
Allow the cheese cubes to cool a little before serving. I recommend serving them with honey, hot honey or some other sweet sauce because the cheese cubes are salty. You can also use on top of crackers, in salads and more. Store uneaten cheese cubes in an airtight container in the fridge. Cheese cubes are best enjoyed soon after they are done cooking because they will lose their crispy exterior once fully cooled and placed into the fridge.
