Tips on How to Make Air Fried Impossible Burgers Recipe
- If you bought your Impossible meat that’s ground already and it was frozen, allow it to thaw first. Then you can form your patties once they are thawed.
- Additional seasonings: Add your favorite seasonings in the plant based meat. We had garlic powder for a nice garlic flavor. Some other ideas to add for flavor add are onion powder, ground cumin, chili flakes, lemon pepper or dried herbs. There’s so many flavor possibbfilaites.
- Consistent patty size: Make sure to form your patties to the same even size. That way, they will cook evenly and at the same time.
- Want to make it a cheeseburger? 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.

Easy Ideas for Burger Toppings
You can make a plant based burger party! Just add all your sides and toppings and it’s an instant vegan burger bar.
- Sauces: mayo, hot sauce, bbq sauce, ranch dressing.
- If you like buffalo wing flavor, then drizzle some buffalo sauce on the burger.
- Sliced raw onions or sautéed your onions.
- Different types of cheeses like smoked gouda, pepper jack, fresh mozzarella.
- Different types of greens: arugula, spinach, chopped kale, butter leaf lettuce, ice berg, green leaf

Burger assembly:

Form 3 equal sized patties about 4-inches wide. Spray or brush both sides with oil and season with salt and pepper. (Tip: lightly oil your hands so the patties stick less to your hands when forming)
