• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

For the marinade:

• 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari (for gluten-free option)
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup or agave nectar
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Instructions:

1. In a small bowl, whisk together the marinade ingredients: soy sauce or tamari, maple syrup or agave nectar, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and ground black pepper.
2. Place the vegan chicken patties in a shallow dish or a resealable bag. Pour the marinade over the patties, ensuring they are well coated. Allow them to marinate for at least 15 minutes, or refrigerate them for a few hours to enhance the flavor.
