How people cook with it
These plant-based patties are versatile and can be prepared in various ways to suit different culinary preferences.
- Grill for a smoky flavor
- Pan-fry for a crispy exterior

To cook, heat a lightly oiled skillet or grill to medium-high heat. Place the plant-based patties on the hot surface and cook for approximately 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are heated through and have developed a nice sear. You can also bake them in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through. Ensure the patties are thoroughly cooked before serving. They are excellent served on a bun with your favorite toppings.
