Air Fryer Tips for Perfect Beyond Burgers
Hey there! The magic of air frying Beyond Burgers is in the timing and temperature. For the best results, don’t overcrowd your air fryer basket – leave a little space between patties so the hot air can flow freely. If your patties are frozen, let them thaw completely before cooking. This helps them cook more evenly and keeps that juicy texture we all love!
Tasty Topping Ideas
Let’s make these burgers amazing! While classic toppings like tomato, lettuce, and onion are great starting points, you can really make these your own. Try adding fresh avocado slices, crispy vegan bacon, caramelized onions, or vegan cheese. For a killer sauce combo, mix vegan mayo with a splash of sriracha or spread on some tangy BBQ sauce. Want something fresh? Add some sprouts or pickled jalapeños for extra zip!
Storage Tips
Got leftover cooked Beyond Burgers? No problem! Pop them in an airtight container and keep them in the fridge for up to 3 days. When you’re ready to eat, warm them up in the air fryer for 2-3 minutes at 350°F.
Just remember that plant-based burgers can dry out when reheated, so add a tiny splash of water to help keep them moist. For uncooked patties, keep them frozen until you’re ready to use them, then thaw in the fridge overnight.
