Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 package Impossible Burger
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup diced onion
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 burger buns
- Optional toppings (lettuce, tomato, etc.)
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 package of Impossible Burger, 1/2 cup of breadcrumbs, 1/4 cup of diced onion, 1 clove of garlic (minced), 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, salt and pepper to taste, 4 burger buns, and any optional toppings you desire such as lettuce and tomato.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the Impossible Burger, breadcrumbs, diced onion, minced garlic, soy sauce, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Use your hands or a spatula to mix the ingredients thoroughly until they are evenly combined.
- Once the mixture is well combined, divide it into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a burger patty, about 1/2 inch thick.
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes while you prepare the patties.
- Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray or brush it with a small amount of oil to prevent sticking.
- Carefully place the burger patties in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not touching to allow for even cooking. You may need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
- Cook the patties in the air fryer for 10-12 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time to ensure they are evenly cooked and browned on both sides.
- While the patties are cooking, prepare your burger buns by toasting them lightly in a toaster or on a skillet, if desired.
- Once the patties are cooked to your liking, carefully remove them from the air fryer and let them rest for a minute.
- Assemble your burgers by placing a patty on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Add your choice of toppings such as lettuce, tomato, pickles, or any other favorite condiments.
- Top each burger with the other half of the bun and serve immediately. Enjoy your delicious Impossible Burger cooked in the air fryer!
Tips
- Don't Overwork the Mixture: When combining ingredients, mix gently to keep the patties tender and prevent them from becoming tough.
- Ensure Even Sizing: Use a burger press or carefully shape patties by hand to create uniform thickness, which guarantees even cooking.
- Prevent Sticking: Always lightly spray or brush the air fryer basket with oil to ensure easy patty removal and prevent tearing.
- Give Space: Cook patties in batches if necessary, ensuring they don't touch in the air fryer basket for maximum crispiness.
- Temperature Matters: Preheat the air fryer to exactly 375°F for the perfect crisp exterior and juicy interior.
- Rest Your Burgers: Let the patties rest for a minute after cooking to help them retain moisture and make them easier to handle.
- Get Creative with Toppings: While the recipe suggests classic toppings, don't be afraid to experiment with unique condiments and fresh ingredients to personalize your Impossible Burger experience!
