Tips:

  • When making homemade vegan Burgers is to make sure you’re using a good binding ingredient. For this Burger recipe, we used chickpeas flour as a binding ingredient. This helps hold the burger patty shape so it cooks evenly and brings out all the flavors. If you’re not using a good binding agent they will just fall apart.
  • You can add Nutritional Yeast 4 tbsp too.
  • Make sure to shape your burger patties so they fit inside your Air Fryer basket. 
  • When cooking your patties from frozen, add a few minutes to the cooking time. 
  • You may want to refrigerate your bean burger mixture for 20-30 minutes before you form the patties so that they can soak up any moisture and the mixture firm up.
  • Serve these vegan burger patties with lots of veggies and whatever other burger toppings you love.
  • The patties can be frozen with parchment paper between each patty. They’ll keep about a month in the freezer.

Some options for the binding ingredient: wheat germ, eggs, egg flax. oats or bread crumbs all work instead of chickpeas flour.
