Cooking Beyond Burgers in the air fryer is simple and fast. The patties brown nicely and cook evenly. Here's what you need for perfectly cooked plant-based burgers, plus tips for your favorite toppings.

Ingredients

  • Beyond Burger patties (frozen or thawed)
  • Burger buns
  • Your preferred toppings: lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, condiments

Steps

  1. 01Place patties in the air fryer basket. If frozen, no thaw needed but add 2 minutes to cook time.
  2. 02No oil needed. The patties have fat built in.
  3. 03Ready for the air fryer.
Beyond patties cook and behave almost identically to beef in the air fryer. They brown, they sear, they shrink slightly. The one difference: they don't render fat the same way, so there's less grease in the basket to drain.
