Coat a baking sheet with nonstick spray or olive oil Form mixture into roughly 8 to 9 patties

I use a peanut butter jar lid lined with plastic wrap to get the perfect circular shape You can

also just take handfuls and mash them into loose patties The thicker you make them the

longer theyrsquoll take to cook through but the ldquojuicierrdquo and heartier theyrsquoll be Thinner pattieswill cook faster

Arrange burgers on a baking sheet and brush or spray the tops with olive oil Bake for a total

of 30 to 45 minutes gently flipping at the halfway mark Cook longer to dry them out even

more and achieve more cr isp but it rsquos not necessary

frequently Set aside with prepared veggies and vermicelli noodles

To assemble spring rolls pour very hot water into a shallow dish or skillet and immerse ricepaper to soften for about 10 to 15 seconds Transfer to a damp cutting board or damp towel

and gently spread out edges into a circle It may take a little practice so donrsquot feel bad if your

first few attempts are a fail

paprika and serve with veggies crackers

and pita Leftovers keep in the refrigerator

for up to 1 week or more It tastes even better

refrigerated as it has time to thicken up and

develop in flavor

thing about these cookies is a little under-

baked is OK since therersquos no eggs and theyrsquollultimately just be a little more moist

for several minutes or until all of the sauce is absorbed and the tofu looks glazed stirring

frequently Set aside with prepared veggies and vermicelli noodles

To assemble spring rolls pour very hot water into a shallow dish or skillet and immerse ricepaper to soften for about 10 to 15 seconds Transfer to a damp cutting board or damp towel

and gently spread out edges into a circle It may take a little practice so donrsquot feel bad if your

first few attempts are a fail

To the bottom third of the wrapper add a small handful of vermicelli noodles and layer

carrots bell peppers cucumber fresh herbs and 2 to 3 pieces of tofu on top Gently fold over

once tuck in edges and continue rolling until seam is sealed

Place seam-side down on a serving platter and cover with damp warm towel to keep fresh

Repeat until all fillings are used up ndash about 8 to 10 spring rolls total

Serve with almond butter sauce and sriracha or hot sauce of choice I like to mix mine and godip happy Leftovers store well individually wrapped in plastic wrap though best when fresh

I use a peanut butter jar lid lined with plastic wrap to get the perfect circular shape You can

also just take handfuls and mash them into loose patties The thicker you make them the

longer theyrsquoll take to cook through but the ldquojuicierrdquo and heartier theyrsquoll be Thinner pattieswill cook faster

Arrange burgers on a baking sheet and brush or spray the tops with olive oil Bake for a total

for several minutes or until all of the sauce is absorbed and the tofu looks glazed stirring

frequently Set aside with prepared veggies and vermicelli noodles

To assemble spring rolls pour very hot water into a shallow dish or skillet and immerse ricepaper to soften for about 10 to 15 seconds Transfer to a damp cutting board or damp towel

and gently spread out edges into a circle It may take a little practice so donrsquot feel bad if your

first few attempts are a fail

To the bottom third of the wrapper add a small handful of vermicelli noodles and layer

carrots bell peppers cucumber fresh herbs and 2 to 3 pieces of tofu on top Gently fold over

once tuck in edges and continue rolling until seam is sealed

Place seam-side down on a serving platter and cover with damp warm towel to keep fresh

I use a peanut butter jar lid lined with plastic wrap to get the perfect circular shape You can

also just take handfuls and mash them into loose patties The thicker you make them the

longer theyrsquoll take to cook through but the ldquojuicierrdquo and heartier theyrsquoll be Thinner pattieswill cook faster

Arrange burgers on a baking sheet and brush or spray the tops with olive oil Bake for a total

of 30 to 45 minutes gently flipping at the halfway mark Cook longer to dry them out even

more and achieve more cr isp but it rsquos not necessary

Serve on small gluten free buns or atop mixed greens with desired toppings

frequently Set aside with prepared veggies and vermicelli noodles

To assemble spring rolls pour very hot water into a shallow dish or skillet and immerse ricepaper to soften for about 10 to 15 seconds Transfer to a damp cutting board or damp towel

I use a peanut butter jar lid lined with plastic wrap to get the perfect circular shape You can

also just take handfuls and mash them into loose patties The thicker you make them the

longer theyrsquoll take to cook through but the ldquojuicierrdquo and heartier theyrsquoll be Thinner pattieswill cook faster

Arrange burgers on a baking sheet and brush or spray the tops with olive oil Bake for a total

of 30 to 45 minutes gently flipping at the halfway mark Cook longer to dry them out even

more and achieve more cr isp but it rsquos not necessary

I use a peanut butter jar lid lined with plastic wrap to get the perfect circular shape You can

also just take handfuls and mash them into loose patties The thicker you make them the

longer theyrsquoll take to cook through but the ldquojuicierrdquo and heartier theyrsquoll be Thinner pattieswill cook faster

Arrange burgers on a baking sheet and brush or spray the tops with olive oil Bake for a total

of 30 to 45 minutes gently flipping at the halfway mark Cook longer to dry them out even

more and achieve more cr isp but it rsquos not necessary

thing about these cookies is a little under-

baked is OK since therersquos no eggs and theyrsquollultimately just be a little more moist

Remove and let set for a few minutes on

the pan then carefully transfer to a plate or

Bake for 15 to 18 minutes or until golden brown

and somewhat firm to the touch The good

thing about these cookies is a little under-

baked is OK since therersquos no eggs and theyrsquollultimately just be a little more moist

Remove and let set for a few minutes on

the pan then carefully transfer to a plate or

cooling rack to cool Serve immediately

Store leftovers in an airtight container for

several days Move to the fridge or freezer for

thing about these cookies is a little under-

Remove and let set for a few minutes on

the pan then carefully transfer to a plate or

cooling rack to cool Serve immediately

Store leftovers in an airtight container for

I use a peanut butter jar lid lined with plastic wrap to get the perfect circular shape You can

also just take handfuls and mash them into loose patties The thicker you make them the

longer theyrsquoll take to cook through but the ldquojuicierrdquo and heartier theyrsquoll be Thinner pattieswill cook faster

Arrange burgers on a baking sheet and brush or spray the tops with olive oil Bake for a total

Coat a baking sheet with nonstick spray or olive oil Form mixture into roughly 8 to 9 patties

I use a peanut butter jar lid lined with plastic wrap to get the perfect circular shape You can

also just take handfuls and mash them into loose patties The thicker you make them the

longer theyrsquoll take to cook through but the ldquojuicierrdquo and heartier theyrsquoll be Thinner pattieswill cook faster

Arrange burgers on a baking sheet and brush or spray the tops with olive oil Bake for a total

of 30 to 45 minutes gently flipping at the halfway mark Cook longer to dry them out even

more and achieve more cr isp but it rsquos not necessary

frequently Set aside with prepared veggies and vermicelli noodles

To assemble spring rolls pour very hot water into a shallow dish or skillet and immerse ricepaper to soften for about 10 to 15 seconds Transfer to a damp cutting board or damp towel

for several minutes or until all of the sauce is absorbed and the tofu looks glazed stirring

frequently Set aside with prepared veggies and vermicelli noodles

To assemble spring rolls pour very hot water into a shallow dish or skillet and immerse ricepaper to soften for about 10 to 15 seconds Transfer to a damp cutting board or damp towel

and gently spread out edges into a circle It may take a little practice so donrsquot feel bad if your

first few attempts are a fail

To the bottom third of the wrapper add a small handful of vermicelli noodles and layer

carrots bell peppers cucumber fresh herbs and 2 to 3 pieces of tofu on top Gently fold over

once tuck in edges and continue rolling until seam is sealed

Place seam-side down on a serving platter and cover with damp warm towel to keep fresh

Repeat until all fillings are used up ndash about 8 to 10 spring rolls total

Serve with almond butter sauce and sriracha or hot sauce of choice I like to mix mine and godip happy Leftovers store well individually wrapped in plastic wrap though best when fresh

frequently Set aside with prepared veggies and vermicelli noodles

To assemble spring rolls pour very hot water into a shallow dish or skillet and immerse ricepaper to soften for about 10 to 15 seconds Transfer to a damp cutting board or damp towel

and gently spread out edges into a circle It may take a little practice so donrsquot feel bad if your

for several minutes or until all of the sauce is absorbed and the tofu looks glazed stirring

frequently Set aside with prepared veggies and vermicelli noodles

To assemble spring rolls pour very hot water into a shallow dish or skillet and immerse ricepaper to soften for about 10 to 15 seconds Transfer to a damp cutting board or damp towel

and gently spread out edges into a circle It may take a little practice so donrsquot feel bad if your

first few attempts are a fail

To the bottom third of the wrapper add a small handful of vermicelli noodles and layer

carrots bell peppers cucumber fresh herbs and 2 to 3 pieces of tofu on top Gently fold over

once tuck in edges and continue rolling until seam is sealed

Place seam-side down on a serving platter and cover with damp warm towel to keep fresh

frequently Set aside with prepared veggies and vermicelli noodles

To assemble spring rolls pour very hot water into a shallow dish or skillet and immerse ricepaper to soften for about 10 to 15 seconds Transfer to a damp cutting board or damp towel

and gently spread out edges into a circle It may take a little practice so donrsquot feel bad if your

first few attempts are a fail

To the bottom third of the wrapper add a small handful of vermicelli noodles and layer

I use a peanut butter jar lid lined with plastic wrap to get the perfect circular shape You can

also just take handfuls and mash them into loose patties The thicker you make them the

longer theyrsquoll take to cook through but the ldquojuicierrdquo and heartier theyrsquoll be Thinner pattieswill cook faster

Arrange burgers on a baking sheet and brush or spray the tops with olive oil Bake for a total

of 30 to 45 minutes gently flipping at the halfway mark Cook longer to dry them out even

more and achieve more cr isp but it rsquos not necessary

and somewhat firm to the touch The good

thing about these cookies is a little under-

baked is OK since therersquos no eggs and theyrsquollultimately just be a little more moist

Remove and let set for a few minutes on

the pan then carefully transfer to a plate or

cooling rack to cool Serve immediately

Store leftovers in an airtight container for

several days Move to the fridge or freezer for

longer term storage

frequently Set aside with prepared veggies and vermicelli noodles

To assemble spring rolls pour very hot water into a shallow dish or skillet and immerse ricepaper to soften for about 10 to 15 seconds Transfer to a damp cutting board or damp towel

frequently Set aside with prepared veggies and vermicelli noodles

To assemble spring rolls pour very hot water into a shallow dish or skillet and immerse ricepaper to soften for about 10 to 15 seconds Transfer to a damp cutting board or damp towel

and gently spread out edges into a circle It may take a little practice so donrsquot feel bad if your

first few attempts are a fail

To the bottom third of the wrapper add a small handful of vermicelli noodles and layer

carrots bell peppers cucumber fresh herbs and 2 to 3 pieces of tofu on top Gently fold over

once tuck in edges and continue rolling until seam is sealed

Place seam-side down on a serving platter and cover with damp warm towel to keep fresh

5 minutes Remove from skillet and set aside

Prep veggies and prepare almond butter sauce

by adding all sauce ingredients except water

to a small mixing bowl and whisk to combine

Add enough hot water to thin until a pourable

sauce is achieved Adjust flavors as needed (I

often add a little more chili garlic sauce and

brown sugar)

To add more flavor to the tofu transfer about

2-12 Tbsp of the sauce to a small bowl and

add an additional tablespoon each of soy

sauce sesame oil and brown sugar (or agave)

and whisk to combine

Add tofu back to the skillet over medium heat

for several minutes or until all of the sauce is absorbed and the tofu looks glazed stirring

frequently Set aside with prepared veggies and vermicelli noodles

To assemble spring rolls pour very hot water into a shallow dish or skillet and immerse ricepaper to soften for about 10 to 15 seconds Transfer to a damp cutting board or damp towel

and gently spread out edges into a circle It may take a little practice so donrsquot feel bad if your

be kind of wet and sticky Thatrsquos OK Yoursquore on

the right track

Scrape your dough into a mixing bowl If it

feels too wet to the touch to form into cookies

add a few tablespoons of almond meal and

or oats and stir I added an additional few

tablespoons of each until I was able to form

them into cookies without them sticking to

my hands

At this point you can add in 14 cup of your

mix-in of choicemdashsuch as dairy-free dark

chocolate chips raisins or nuts Chill dough for

10 minutes and preheat oven to 350 degrees F

Scoop out 1 Tbsp of your cookie dough and

form into loose discs Arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet They wonrsquot expand so pack

them closer together (but not touching)

thing about these cookies is a little under-

baked is OK since therersquos no eggs and theyrsquollultimately just be a little more moist

Remove and let set for a few minutes on

the pan then carefully transfer to a plate or

cooling rack to cool Serve immediately

Store leftovers in an airtight container for

several days Move to the fridge or freezer for

longer term storage
