Can You Air Fry Beyond Burger Patties From Frozen?
Yes, frozen beyond meat patties can be cooked pulled straight from the freezer. These plant based patties are usually sold as frozen and you just need to unwrap them and start air frying.

Tips on How to Air Fry Frozen Beyond Burgers
- If you purchased your beyond meat patties from frozen, you don’t need to thaw them.
- Flavor tip: Sprinkle a little garlic powder, onion power and salt and pepper before air frying. These plant based patties will be extra flavorful!
- Cheeseburgers : If you’re adding cheese, press it into the cooked patty so that it sticks to the patty. This keeps the cheese from flying off the patty during air frying. Then air fry for about 1 minute until the cheese melts. If you’re using vegan plant based cheese, it might not melt the same as dairy based cheese.
- All recipe details are in the recipe box below.
- Pro-Tip: here’s our favorite tools to help make air frying easier:
We LOVE Evo Oil Sprayers. Not the prettiest, but they’re functional and spritz oil great! They don’t clog up like many others we’ve bought. There’s different styles, but all seem to have the same great spray head. Works great for grilling!
There are Square Mats & Round Mats. These perforated non-stick silicone mats are used to cook food in your air fryer or steamer to minimize sticking. Holes allow hot circulating air to cook the food & keeps the food from sticking.
Parchment sheets are great for your air fryer or bamboo steamer (food tends to stick most on wire basket or tray). Choose from different sizes, shapes, white and brown (unbleached). Holes allow air to cook food evenly.

3 Comments on “Air Fryer Frozen Beyond Burgers”
I’m planning for a little burger gathering before the weather gets too cold and a few of my buddies are vegan so this recipe has really helped a lot. I’ve tested the recipe according to your steps and it was perfect.
I didn’t even need to thaw the patty. It was fine just plopping it into the air fryer. They came out so good.
These beyond burgers came out really great even after being frozen. The air fryer cooked it nice and juicy.
