Frozen Beyond Burger In Air Fryer
You can absolutely make crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside Beyond burgers in an air fryer, and here's how!
Equipment
- air fryer
Ingredients
- 2 frozen Beyond Burger patties
- vegetable based cooking spray
Optional Ingredients For Burger
- Sliced red onion
- Greens, such as lettuce, arugula, kale or spinach
- Condiments like mustard or aioli
- Choice of bun, such as a lettuce wrap bun, or whole wheat bun
- Vegan cheese or any cheese
Instructions
- Take the frozen burgers out of their container, and toss out any parchment paper that is stuck to the burgers. There is no need to thaw them.
- Spray each side of the frozen burger patties with vegetable oil for crispier burgers, or skip this step if opting for oil-less burgers. I do recommend lightly spraying the bottom of the air fryer basket to prevent sticking.
- Place them flat in the air fryer basket in a single layer, and top with a crisper lid if your air fryer has one (this is usually found on the Instant Pot Air Fryer).
- Shut your air fryer and set the timer to 9 minutes, and the temperature to 400 degrees F (no need to pre-heat). Cook for 9 minutes on one side, then using tongs, flip the patty and cook for another 9 minutes on the other side. The internal temperature should be 165 degrees F.
- If you want to add vegan cheese, or any regular cheese, place a thin slice on the hot patty as soon as you remove it from the air fryer.
- You now have the option to place place the burger buns in the air fryer to heat up for 1-2 minutes (don't do this if using lettuce wrap). Assemble your burger however you like, and enjoy!
