Cup of Yum
To oven bake
- Preheat the oven to 180C/350F.Place each burger patty onto a baking tray and bake for 30 minutes, flipping halfway. Ensure they’re golden and cooked through, cooking for longer if necessary.
To grill / barbecue
- Alternatively, cook on the barbecue on a mesh barbecue rack so they don’t fall into the coals. Cook until cooked through and lightly charred on each side.
Notes
- To freeze - Freeze cooked burger patties by allowing them to cool completely, then place on a baking sheet and freeze completely. Then wrap or place them into a freezer bag for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge before cooking in the pan to heat through and re-crisp the outside.
- Make it gluten free - use gluten free oats and bun to make these gluten free veggie burgers.
