FAQ
Are these patties vegan?
Yes, they are plant-based. Check the specific ingredients in your version to avoid eggs or dairy if you’re keeping them vegan.

Can I freeze the patties?
Yes. Freeze formed patties (baked or raw) for 1–2 months; thaw in the fridge before reheating.
How do I cook them?
Pan-fry in a little oil for about 3–4 minutes per side, or bake at 190°C (375°F) for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway. An air fryer at 180°C for 12–15 minutes also works.

What should I serve them with?
Pair with greens or a crisp slaw; a yogurt or tahini sauce can be a tasty addition.
Are they kid-friendly?
Yes—soft inside with a mild flavor, suitable for kids’ lunches or dinners.
Can I customize the recipe?
Absolutely. You can adjust spices and add-ins (corn, peppers, cilantro). If the mixture is too loose, add a bit more binder.
