Ingredients:
- 2 Plant-Based Meat Patties (3 oz each)
- 2 Slices Vegan American Cheese
- 1/2 Cup Shredded Iceberg Lettuce
- 5-6 Dill Pickle Slices
- 2 Tbsp Diced Onion
- 1 Sesame Bun + Bottom Half of another Bun
Big Mac Sauce:
- 1 cup vegan mayo
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 2 Tbsp yellow mustard
- 2 Tbsp sweet relish
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 Tbsp white vinegar
Instructions:
- Begin by preparing the Big Mac Sauce. In a bowl, combine vegan mayo, ketchup, yellow mustard, sweet relish, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and white vinegar. Stir until well combined. Season to taste and refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Next, prepare the middle bun (the Club) by using a serrated knife to shave off just the bottom of the extra bottom bun. This will create the perfect size bun for your Vegan Big Mac.
- Grill the buns in a bit of oil or vegan butter until golden brown. Set aside.
- Press your burger patties to match the circumference of your buns. Then, over medium-high heat, grill each patty on each side for 3-4 minutes.
- After flipping the patties, add a slice of vegan cheese to each one and cover with a melting dome. You can also add a little water before covering to help steam the cheese until melted.
- Once the cheese is melted, it's time to assemble your Vegan Big Mac. Start by layering the ingredients as follows: Bottom Bun, Big Mac Sauce, Shredded Lettuce, Burger Patty, Diced Onions, Middle Bun, Big Mac Sauce, Dill Pickle Slices, Shredded Lettuce, Burger Patty, Big Mac Sauce, and finally, the Top Bun.
- Serve your Vegan Big Mac immediately and enjoy the delicious flavors!
