Vegan Mushroom Pecan Burgers Recipe - Vegan in the Freezer (2024)

FAQs

Can you freeze homemade vegan burgers? ›

That's right: The best way to make these vegan (no eggs!), gluten-free (no breadcrumbs!) burgers is in a big batch. Stick them in the freezer, grab them whenever, and cook them straight from frozen. It's just as convenient as serving your favorite store-bought brand, but tastier.

Pan Fry: Pre-heat a pan on a LOW heat with a small amount of oil. Place the frozen burger in the pan and gently shallow fry for 12 mins, flip occasionally. Remove when cooked to a deep crispy surface browning.

Common binding agents include flax eggs (a mixture of ground flaxseed and water), chia seeds, mashed potatoes, tapioca flour, or even your favorite nut butter. These ingredients help hold everything together and prevent your burger from crumbling.

Can you freeze Beyond Burgers? If products are purchased thawed, we do not recommend refreezing and suggest following the stickered best by date. If the product was purchased frozen, it can be stored in the freezer following the printed best by date.

Yes, BUT use fresh ground meat for this. It is unwise to thaw meat and refreeze without first cooking. I would suggest you either leave out onion in these patties or finely dice and cook the onion before adding to the meat and freezing.

It's best to freeze them before pan-frying or baking them. Just put them on a baking sheet in the freezer and freeze them for about an hour. Then place the burger patties in freezer bags. You can freeze them for up to 2 months.

Slice up some onions and (optional) beets thinly. The onions help to keep the burgers moist and add steam and flavour during cooking. If you don't like onions, try sliced mushrooms. Spices like garlic powder and a good barbecue sauce are also important for that authentic barbecue flavour.

Note: allowing just a couple of minutes to thaw will help the seasonings stick. Place frozen, seasoned patties onto the hot cast-iron pan. Cook 3-5 minutes on each side, then flip. Continue flipping until a nice crust has formed — about 15 minutes.

The burgers are not vegan, as they contain eggs and dairy, but are suitable for vegetarians who eat dairy and eggs, being made mostly of plant matter (vegetables), along with salt.

Freeze the patties for about 45-60 mins or so. Once the raw patties are frozen, place them in a freezer safe bag.

How long do homemade veggie burgers last in the freezer? ›

Vegan/egg-free veggie burgers: Use 2 homemade flax eggs. See this recipe for how to make flax eggs. Make ahead: You can keep the burger mixture or formed patties in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Alternatively, you can form, cook, and freeze the patties for up to 3 months.

Finely chopped garlic and shallots add depth of flavor. Crushed walnuts give them a meaty bite. Short grain brown rice, panko bread crumbs, and ground flaxseed help these burgers hold together. DON'T use long-grain brown rice here.

Adding flour or oats can help the burgers stick together, without using eggs. Mash everything together well. The more pulverized the veggie burger mixture gets, the better the patties will stick together. (But don't puree them, or the final texture will be off.)

Once opened, keep refrigerated and consume within 24 hours. Suitable for freezing. Freeze on the day of purchase and use within 1 month.
