For almost a decade my wife has been vegan. Because of this, I eat vegan meals more often than not, it is just easier to cook plant-based meals for the meals that we share together. And to be honest, I can’t tell the difference half the time anyway. Especially with Beyond meat.
Beyond Meat Burgers
Although my preference is Impossible Burger, they don’t sell it in grocery stores. What we do have in grocery stores is Beyond Meat, and it is pretty decent, it has a similar texture to ground beef, and is a close second for Impossible burgers. Beyond Meat comes two 4oz patties to a package. Each burger has 260 calories each, which is very comparable to ground beef at 241calories. Beyond burger has less saturated fats and a similar amount of protein. Plant-based Beyond Meat burgers are very close in texture, and flavor to ground beef.

Impossible has been selling in my grocery for a while now and have even come down in price. Definitely the best fake burgers around.
I understand Beyond Meat is sold frozen. Is your recipe for frozen patties or totally thawed refrigerated patties?
Hi Nathan, I cook them frozen. You can get away with things cooking frozen things that are very thin like burgers, chicken nuggets, chicken strips. Things that should be thawed first. Chicken wings, Chicken breasts, ribs, etc.
So thrilled to find this recipe! These burgers are the best. Thanks!!
Should I thaw them before or use them frozen?
They are thin enough that you can cook them Frozen.
I was definitely surprised about these burgers when my son served them. To be honest I was a little bit hesitant, but after tasting them they they are absolutely the best! They are now my “go to” burgers!
I am new to an air fryer. Do you put them in frozen or thaw them first?
Hi, Tim – These weren’t frozen when we cooked them and that’s what we’d recommend. If you have frozen patties, I’d recommend defrosting them in the microwave first then cook them in your air fryer.
