How to make Baked Okonomiyaki

  • Preheat oven to 400°. Prep veggies - Shred cabbage & carrots and slice green onions. (I like to use my food processor to save time)
  • Add veggies into batter mixture and mix till fully combined. Mix should look like the texture of coleslaw.
  • Scoop 1 cup servings onto parchment or silicone mat lined baking sheet. Use hands (or back of measuring cup) to compress into round pancake like shapes. This should make about 6-7 pancakes.
  • Bake for 25 minutes, rotate baking sheet position in your oven if you're using two, and OPTIONALLY, you can carefully flip the pancakes at this time. Bake for another 10-15 minutes.
  • Plate & add as many toppings and sauces as you'd like.

Notes

*You can find an easy Kombu Dashi option here, otherwise any vegan broth of your choice will substitute just fine.
**Find my Spicy Mayo Recipe here! or whip up a even quicker version -> Quick Spicy Mayo Alternative- Mix ¼ cup vegan mayo with 1 tablespoon of rice wine vinegar and 1 tablespoon of sriracha to taste. Thin with additional vinegar or water to get desired consistency.
