How to Make Vegan GF Sausage Patties
Prepare the Flax Egg

Cook the Vegetables
- Heat olive oil in a skillet. Sauté onion, garlic, and mushrooms until soft and moisture evaporates. This step helps create the firm texture seen in the image.
Mix the Patty Base
- In a bowl, mash lentils slightly (leave some texture). Add cooked vegetables, flax egg, oats, nutritional yeast, soy sauce, vinegar, and all spices. Mix until thick and moldable.
Shape Patties
- Form small round patties (about 2½–3 inches wide), pressing firmly so they hold shape like the photo.
Cook
- Heat oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat.
Cook patties for 4–5 minutes per side, until golden-brown and crispy. - Let rest 2 minutes before serving.
