Ingredients
Plant-Based Patties
- 4 plant-based burger patties
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Other Ingredients
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil or olive oil
- 4 burger buns
- Lettuce leaves (optional)
- Tomato slices (optional)
- Pickles (optional)
- Vegan mayonnaise or ketchup (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the patties: Sprinkle both sides of the plant-based patties evenly with smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. This will enhance the flavor of the patties and give them a delicious smoky taste.
- Heat the oil: Add the vegetable oil to a non-stick skillet or frying pan and heat over medium heat until hot but not smoking. This will provide a good sear on the patties without burning.
- Cook the patties: Place the spiced plant-based patties in the hot skillet. Cook each side for about 3-4 minutes, or until they are browned and heated through. Flip carefully to avoid breaking the patties.
- Warm the buns: While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the burger buns in a toaster or on a separate dry skillet until golden brown. This adds texture and prevents sogginess.
- Assemble the burgers: Place each cooked patty on the bottom half of a warm bun. Add optional toppings like lettuce, tomato slices, pickles, and vegan mayonnaise or ketchup as desired. Top with the other half of the bun.
- Serve: Serve the vegan burgers immediately while warm for the best texture and flavor experience.
Notes
- You can customize this burger by adding your favorite vegan cheese or seasonal vegetables.
- If preferred, patties can also be baked in an oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway.
- Using a non-stick pan and moderate oil helps prevent sticking and burning of the patties.
- Use gluten-free buns if you require a gluten-free option.
