Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a food processor, blend 1 can of drained chickpeas, nutritional yeast, flaxseed, and sea salt until smooth, about 1-2 minutes.
  2. Gradually incorporate almond flour until the mixture is soft and moldable; add extra flour if too wet.
  3. Shape the chickpea mixture into oval cutlets, about half an inch thick, and place them on a parchment-lined tray.
  4. Dip each cutlet in aquafaba, then roll in the almond flour and nutritional yeast mixture, pressing lightly.
  5. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and bake cutlets for 20-30 minutes, flipping halfway through for even browning.
  6. In a saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat and sauté sliced mushrooms for about 10 minutes until tender.
  7. Add remaining gravy ingredients and let simmer while cutlets bake.
  8. Stir in arrowroot powder and cook for 2-3 minutes until gravy thickens; adjust seasoning as needed.
  9. Serve cutlets topped with mushroom gravy, enjoy warm with salad or grain.
