  • 1/2 cup sunflower seeds
  • 1/2 cup green onions, diced

Asian Slaw

  • 1 bag shredded cabbage
  • 1 tsp garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp ginger
  • 1/2 tbsp Sriracha hot sauce
  • 1/8 cup almond butter sub any preferred nut butter
  • 1 tbsp coconut aminos or soy sauce
  • 1 tsp lime juice
  • 1 tbsp coconut sugar or brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp sesame oil, toasted
  • 1/4 cup water

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line baking sheet with wax paper and lightly grease.
  • In a large mixing bowl roughly mash the drained chickpeas with a fork, leaving a few beans whole for texture.
  • Add cooked quinoa, diced green onions, almond butter, sunflower seeds, coconut aminos or soy sauce, Sriracha hot sauce, garlic, brown sugar, and Himilayan salt to mixing bowl. Stir to combine.
  • To form patties use a heaping 1/4 cup of mixture and form in hands. Mixture will be wet, so place semi-formed patty on baking sheet and complete adjustments directly on the sheet with fingers. Repeat until all burgers are formed. Mixture will yield 4- 6 patties depending on your preferred size.
  • Bake for 20 minutes, carefully flip, then bake for an additional 18 minutes. Patties should be crispy on the outside when complete.
  • While patties are baking prepare the dressing for the slaw.
  • Add all the dressing ingredients to the measuring cup of the hand blender. If you don't have a hand blender use a food processor or blender. Blend until smooth.
  • Add the shredded cabbage and dressing to a bowl and toss until cabbage is well coated. Save a little dressing for drizzle topping.
  • Add the slaw to the bottom of plate or bowl. Top with two patties. Drizzle with extra dressing and enjoy! Feel free to add any extra topping flavors. Typically we enjoy sliced avocado and extra diced green onions!
