makes 8 small patties

INGREDIENTS

• CAULI PATTIES
• 1 1/2 cups riced cauliflower and broccoli
• 1 cup unseasoned whole wheat bread crumbs
• 2 slices vegan cheese, minced
• 1 scallion, minced
• 1/4 tsp garlic powder
• 2 pinches of salt
• 1 tbsp vegan mayo
• 1 tbsp tapioca flour or cornstarch
• 1 flax egg ( 1 tsp ground flaxseed + 1 tbsp water)
• pepper, to taste
• 1/4 tsp dried onion flakes or onion powder
• THOUSAND ISLAND DRESSING
• 2 tbsp vegan mayo
• 2 tbsp ketchup
• 1 tbsp sweet relish
• 2 tsp water (add more or less depending on desired consistency)

METHOD

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F.
2. In a small bowl, add your thousand island ingredients and stir well. Set aside until ready to use.
3. Add all your cauli cake ingredients except half of the bread crumbs to a bowl and mix with hands. I used a prepared riced cauliflower/broccoli mix but you can make your own by grating on a box grater and then steaming and draining well. Once ingredients are mixed, let sit for about 10 minutes tolet the ingredients bind together. 
4. Make small 2-3 oz balls with your hand then flatten gently and dredge in the remaining bread crumbs. It will be only a light coating.
5. Spread 1 tbsp of neutral oil on a sheet pan with your hand to avoid using too much. Place patties gently on pan and bake for 25 mins.Turn gently every 10 mins to make the cauli cakes crispy.
