Preparation

1

Setup & make the fries:
Wash and rinse all produce. Preheat the oven to 430F.
Peel the potatoes and cut in fries shape, about 1 cm thick. Place the fries on a lined baking sheet. Drizzle with oil, season with salt & pepper. Bake 25 minutes or until fries are golden. Keep the oven on to heat the buns.
BBQ note: If using a BBQ, turn on BBQ to med-high for the patties.
2
Make the patties mixture: Using a fork (or a food processor), crumble the tofu. Add the tofu patty dry mix to the tofu and water (1 to 2 tbsp 2P , 2 to 4 tbsp 4P, 1/4 cup to 1/3 cup 6P).
3
Form & cook the patties: With lightly oiled hands, form 1 patty per portion. Place the patties on a lined baking sheet. Cook at 430F 10 minutes. Flip the patties and cook an additional 10 minutes.
4
Prepare the toppings: Slice the onion and the pickles.
5
Melt the cheese & toast the buns: Place the cheddar cheese on the patty and the sesame buns on the baking sheet. Place in the oven for 1-2 minute.
6
Assemble & serve: Place 1/2 tbsp big mac zesty sauce on each half bun. Top with a patty, lettuce, pickles and onion slices. Top each burger with the top bun. Serve with a side of baked fries and the rest of the big mac zesty sauce.
Bon appétit!
