Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a food processor, combine your drained chickpeas, almond flour, aquafaba, nutritional yeast, flaxseed, and sea salt. Blend until smooth and slightly sticky.
  2. Wet your hands and shape the mixture into oval or patty shapes, about ½ inch thick. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  3. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Dip each cutlet in aquafaba, then roll in a mixture of flaxseed and nutritional yeast.
  4. Arrange the coated cutlets on the baking sheet and lightly spray with olive oil. Bake for 20–30 minutes, flipping halfway.
  5. In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté chopped mushrooms, onions, and garlic until soft and fragrant, about 5–7 minutes.
  6. Sprinkle in arrowroot powder and stir well. Gradually pour in vegetable broth, stirring to avoid lumps. Simmer for 3–5 minutes until thickened.
  7. Plate cutlets and drizzle with mushroom gravy. Enjoy warm with greens or quinoa.
