How people cook with it
These veggie burgers are a versatile ingredient for quick meals. They can be prepared in various ways to suit different tastes and occasions.
- Sandwich filling
- Salad topping
- Appetizer
- Main course
To prepare, cook the frozen patties directly from the freezer. They can be pan-fried in a lightly oiled skillet over medium heat until browned and heated through. Alternatively, they can be baked in an oven on a baking sheet until they reach the desired crispness. Grilling is also an option, though care should be taken as they can be more delicate than meat burgers. Ensure they are thoroughly heated before serving.

Compared to some other veggie burgers, these patties focus on a garden vegetable profile, offering a lighter, fresher taste. Their texture is generally softer than those made with grains or legumes, providing a distinct mouthfeel.

How to keep the rest
