To Bake preheat:  Oven temperature to 375 degrees if you are baking, then use a large pan lined with parchment paper and brush olive oil under the parchment paper to hold it in place and brush the parchment paper on top and then drizzle a little more olive oil on the parchment paper.  Then put your patties on the parchment.  Bake approx. 25 minutes then flip them over and bake 25 minutes more.  Or until they are golden brown.

If frying on the stove top:  Add Olive oil to the pan and warm up to medium or medium high temperature before you place the patties in the oil.  Fry to golden brown on both sides and drain on paper towels
