- 1 tsp Cajun spices
- 1 tbsp nutritional yeast
- 2 tbsp virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp soy sauce

Burger Toppings:

Preparation
- Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, mix the chia with 3 tbsp water. Let sit to absorb until it forms a gel.
- In the bowl of a food processor, place the oats, beans, garlic, sunflower seeds, walnuts, spices, nutritional yeast, olive oil, mustard, soy sauce, salt, pepper and chia gel.
- Pulse until well mixed and slightly sticky, but still textured to preserve the crunch from the nuts and seeds.
- Pour the mixture into a bowl. Add the onion, cilantro and sweet potato to the bean mixture. Stir to combine.
- Using your hands, shape mixture into patties. Rinse your hands with water in between each patty to keep the mix from sticking to them.
- Heat the sunflower oil in a non-stick frying pan and cook the patties for a few minutes each side, until browned.
- Transfer the patties to the prepared baking sheet place in preheated oven for 15 minutes, turning once halfway through cooking time.
- Garnish with your favorite toppings!
