- Cook the Vegan Patty: Grill or pan-fry the vegan burger patty according to package instructions, typically 3-4 minutes on each side until thoroughly heated and crispy outside.

TIPS FOR VEGAN VEGGIE BURGER
- Toast the burger bun for an extra crispy texture and added flavour.
- If your vegan patty is frozen, allow it to thaw in the fridge before cooking for an even texture.
- Mash the avocado slightly and spread it on the bun instead of slicing it for a creamier bite.
VARIATIONS
- Add caramelised onions or sautéed mushrooms for extra umami.
- Use a gluten-free bun or wrap the burger in large lettuce leaves for a gluten-free version.
- Include a slice of vegan cheese for a cheeseburger twist.
- Add pickles or jalapeños for a tangy, spicy kick.
PREPPING AND STORAGE
- Fridge: Store leftover cooked burger patties in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet or microwave before assembling the burger.
- Freezer: You can freeze vegan patties for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before cooking. Avoid freezing the assembled burger, as the fresh toppings do not freeze well.
