Preparation

Step 1

Process peanuts, oats, garlic ginger in a processor. Add chickpeas, cilantro and blend. Transfer to a bowl.
Add everything from soy sauce through sweet potato puree/mash. Mix well.
Add ground oats or chickpea flour to help reduce moisture in the mixture. Shape using greased hands or shape through a cookie cutter. Place on parchment lined baking sheet.
Bake at pre-heated 400 degrees F for 20 minutes. Flip and bake for another 5 to 10 mins.
Make the almond Sriracha sauce. Layer kale/greens/lettuce, tomato, burger patty, almond sriracha sauce, cilantro and serve.
