Ingredients

• 1 cup Textured Vegetable Protein (TVP)
• 1 cup Boiling water
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon Nutritional yeast
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 2 teaspoons Sage
• 1 teaspoon Thyme
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (optional)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 cup All-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour)
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil (for frying)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine TVP and boiling water. Stir and let sit for 5 minutes to rehydrate.

Step 2

Add soy sauce, olive oil, and maple syrup to the rehydrated TVP. Mix well to distribute the flavors evenly.

Step 3

Stir in nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, sage, thyme, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly.

Step 4

Sprinkle the flour over the TVP mixture and stir until everything comes together into a moldable consistency. If the mixture feels too wet, add an additional tablespoon of flour.

Step 5

Using your hands, shape the mixture into small, round patties about 2 inches wide and 1/2 inch thick.

Step 6

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 7

Once the oil is hot, add the patties to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 3–4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and slightly crispy.

Step 8

Remove the patties from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

Step 9

Serve hot alongside your favorite breakfast dishes or in a breakfast sandwich.
