Ingredients

Scale

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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
