Soak cheese curds in low-fat buttermilk.

In a bowl, mix together chives, parsley, nutritional yeast, fresh garlic, fresh cracked pepper, and salt to make a ranch dressing.

Whisk the ingredients for the ranch dressing until combined.

In a deep pot, add about one and a half inches of oil and heat it between 400 to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.

Drop the cheese curds into the hot oil one by one, ensuring excess flour falls off before frying.

Fry the cheese curds quickly until golden brown.

Place the fried cheese curds on a brown paper bag to remove excess grease.
