Answers:
Preheat oven to 375F.
Spray foil-lined baking sheet with cooking spray.
Shape into patties and place on baking sheet. Season to taste.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until dry and a bit firm to the touch.
If you want them to be golden all over, I recommend flipping them halfway through baking or switching your oven to broil for the last minute.
