**Ingredients:**

*Crispy Chickpea patty:*
1 (15oz) Can Organic Chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained and rinsed.
1 Tbsp Olive Oil
1/3 cup Vegetable Broth
2 Tbsp Soy Sauce
1/2 Cup Bread Flour (I used Bobs Red Mill Unbleached Artisan Bread Flour)
1/3 Cup Panko Bread Crumbs (I mixed Italian & Plain)
1 Tsp Poultry Seasoning
1/2 Tsp Salt
Pinch of Black Pepper
1 Cup Panko Crumbs for coating the outside (keep this aside until ready to use!)
*Caesar Mayo:*
1/4 Cup Mayo
1 Tsp Dijon Mustard
1 Tbsp Capers
1 Tbsp Nutritional Yeast
Juice of 1 Lemon
1/4 Tsp Garlic Powder
Pinch of Salt & Pepper
If making into a sandwich, you’ll need Buns & Romaine Lettuce. I added avocado.

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
Drain & Rinse the Chickpeas.
Put the chickpeas into your mini food processor and blend until they are well mashed.
Transfer chickpeas into a large bowl and add Olive Oil, Veggie Broth, Soy Sauce, Bread Flour, Panko (1/3 cup only!), & Poultry seasoning (make sure that extra 1 cup of Panko bread crumbs as aside for coating later!)
Mix everything together with a spoon and once everything starts to come together, begin to mix with your hands and kneed the mixture for about 2 minutes. It should hold together well.
Place the 1 cup of Panko bread crumbs into a pasta bowl (wide and rimmed so the crumbs don’t spill off).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease with an oil spray.
Using an ice cream scooper (or a large spoon, depending on how big you want your patties to be), roll the Chickpea mixture into a ball and then press out flat.
Press the patty down into the bread crumbs on each side. Place coated patty on baking sheet. Repeat with each patty.
Spray the side up with the same cooking spray.
Bake patties for 30 minutes flipping them halfway, at 15 minutes. Bake until the patties are firm, crispy and brown.
While the patties are baking, make the caesar mayo.
Add all the ingredients to your mini food processor and pulse for a minute until it is creamy and smooth. *If you decide to do this by hand, I recommend chopping the Capers first.
When the chickpea patties are done, take a bun and spread the caesar mayo on both sides. Place a patty on top, dollop a little more mayo, add your lettuce and enjoy!
