- 1 Tsp oregano
- 1 Tsp chili powder

Instructions
- Saute garlic and onions in coconut oil until translucent

Notes
To make this a truly vegetarian/vegan dish, sub oil in place of the egg

It was delicious! I’ve got one sliced up on my salad today! Mmmmm!
I assume the bread crumbs and bbq sauce is cups?
Whoops! Yes, cups! I’ve updated the recipe! Good catch! 🙂
Good information. Lucky me I came across your website by chance (stumbleupon).
I’ve book marked it for later!
Do u know the calories, fat, fiber, protein, etc in these patties?
I think I’ll make these into meatless balls and air fry them …
