Instructions
Prepare your Beyond Meat burgers
- Preheat air fryer to 375 degrees F
- In a mixing bowl, combine everything listed under "beyond meat sliders"
- Mix with fork until evenly combined
- Using hands, form slider-sized burger patties (recipe makes 8). Place burgers on parchment paper to prevent sticking
- Once burgers have been formed, it's time to air fry them
Air Fry your Beyond Meat Burgers
- Once the air fryer has been preheating for at least 5 minutes, spray the bottom of the air fryer basket with non-stick oil or line with parchment paper for easy clean up.
- Place beyond burgers in air fryer basket in a single layer (do not overlap). If you have a small air fryer you may need to air fry your beyond burgers in batches.
- Air fry beyond burgers at 375 degrees for 5 minutes. At the 5 minute mark, flip your burgers over to allow them to evenly cook.
- Air fry for another 5 minutes. Burgers will be done when internal temperature has reached 165 degree. (if you don't have a thermometer, check the inside of one of the burgers, they should be firm and textures, not soft and squishy. It is normal for burgers to have a slightly pink or red color when finished cooking)
- When beyond burgers have finished cooking, remove from basket
- **While burgers are cooking, move ahead and prepare the white bean buffalo spread and toppings
prepare the White bean buffalo spread and topping
- Place all of the ingredients listed under "white bean buffalo spread" in a high speed blender. Blend for 30-60 seconds on high until the spread is smooth. Remove from blender and set aside.
- Wash and chop lettuce for toppings and open up slider buns
Put it all together
- Once beyond burgers have finished cooking and white bean spread has been made, it's time to put it all together!
- Spread white bean buffalo spread on slider buns. Top with beyond burgers and top with lettuce. If you want extra spice of blue cheese flavor, sprinkle and drizzle more on top.
- Serve and enjoy!
