START THE SWEET POTATO CHIPS
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread the sweet potato chips on a roasting tray. Coat in oil and season. Roast in the hot oven until crispy, 25-30 minutes (shifting halfway).
COAT & CRUMB
Whisk 1 egg in a bowl. Prepare two shallow dishes: one containing the NOMU rub, and the flour (seasoned lightly), and one containing the crumb. Coat the schnitzels in the seasoned flour, dusting off any excess flour. Coat in the whisked egg, and lastly the crumb. Repeat this step with each schnitzel. Place in the fridge to rest.
ZESTY GREEN SALAD
In a bowl, combine the rinsed green leaves, the cucumber rounds, the salad sprinkle, and the lemon juice (to taste). Season and set aside.
TANGY TOMATO SAUCE
Place a pan over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the sliced onion until golden, 4-5 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add the tomato paste and fry until fragrant, 2-3 minutes. Add 100ml of water. Simmer until thickening, 5-6 minutes. Add a sweetener (to taste), and season.
MMMELTED CHEESE TOPPING
Place a pan (with a lid) over high heat with enough oil to cover the base. When hot, fry the crumbed schnitzels until browned, 30-60 seconds. Remove from the pan, drain on paper towel, and season. Place the schnitzel on a roasting tray, top with the saucy tomato paste mixture, and sprinkle over the grated cheese. Pop in the oven and roast until the cheese is melted, 3-5 minutes.
