👩‍🍳 Instructions

💡 Tips

  • Extra Juicy: Add 1–2 tbsp of olive oil or vegan butter into the patty mixture.

  • Crispy Edges: Press patties slightly thinner for a crispier finish.

  • Flavor Boost: Add 1 tsp soy sauce or tamari to the patty mix.

🔄 Variations

  • BBQ Vegan Burger: Brush patties with vegan BBQ sauce while cooking.

  • Spicy Vegan Burger: Mix sriracha into vegan mayo or patty mix.

  • Mushroom & Lentil Burger: Substitute half the beans with sautéed mushrooms for extra umami.

🧊 Storage

  • Patty: Refrigerate 2 days in an airtight container. Reheat on a skillet for crispiness.
