Beyond Burger Air Fryer Style

Let’s talk burgers—not just any burgers—Beyond Burgers air fryer style. These plant-based patties are a great addition to the vegan burger world and are the perfect burger for air frying. Best of all, they cook from frozen and are ready in just 12 minutes – no oil needed! For the ultimate game night treat, or weekend fakeaway meal, add a side of air fryer frozen french fries.

Why Air Fry Burger Patties?

There are many reasons why I love cooking burgers (of all kinds) in the air fryer. When you’re cooking just one burger, cooking in the air fryer is much more economical than heating up a traditional oven. And unlike frying on the hob, when you use your air fryer to cook burgers, you don’t need to worry about grease splatters or excess oil getting everywhere. Air fryers are particularly useful if you’re catering to multiple dietary requirements because you can keep your vegan-friendly burgers separate from your meat burgers.

Beyond Burgers cook particularly well in the air fryer because you can cook them frozen, so you don’t need to plan ahead. There’s no need to add any oil—just place them in the basket, and you’re good to go. In around 12 minutes (turning halfway), your burger patty is perfectly cooked. Then, all you have to do is assemble your veggie or vegan burger with your choice of tasty toppings and sauces.

Why You’ll Love Air Frying Beyond Burgers:

This air fryer method gives you the best of both worlds – crispy on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside. It’s fast and fuss-free, and it’s the perfect way to cook Beyond Burgers any night of the week. Whether you prefer traditional toppings (ketchup, mustard, pickles) or gourmet options (avocado, caramelised onions, chipotle mayo), these burgers are so tasty and totally adaptable.

What are Beyond Burgers?

Beyond Burgers are plant-based patties made by Beyond Meat, designed to taste, look, and cook like traditional beef burgers. They’re a fantastic option for vegetarians, vegans, or anyone looking to reduce their meat consumption without sacrificing flavour or texture.

How to cook Beyond Burgers in an air fryer

What You’ll Need:

• Beyond Burgers (obviously!)
• An air fryer
• Your choice of burger bun (optional)
• Your favourite burger toppings (lettuce, tomato, cheese or vegan cheese, pickles, ketchup – the choice is yours!)

The Beyond Burgers Air Fryer Method:

1. Grab your patties
   No need to thaw—Beyond Burgers go straight from the freezer into the air fryer.
2. Let’s cook
   Place the patties in the basket, leaving a little space between them for air to circulate. Air fry at 350°F (180°C) for 6 minutes, then flip and cook for another 5-6 minutes. Check for that golden brown edge and juicy centre.
3. Rest and Assemble
   Once cooked, let the burgers rest for a minute, and then assemble your masterpiece with buns, sauces, and toppings.
