Quick Vegan Bagel Burger (20-Minute Beyond Patty & Cream Cheese)

This vegan bagel burger is a quick 20-minute weeknight meal made with an air-fried Beyond Burger, everything bagel, and creamy vegan cheese.

Ingredients

This easy vegan burger recipe uses simple ingredients and an air fryer for fast prep and minimal cleanup.

• 1 Vegan Beyond Burger (or other plant-based patty)
• 1 Vegan everything bagel
• Vegan cream cheese
• Pickles
• Whole grain old style mustard
• Ketchup
• Hot sauce (optional)

Instructions

Air fry the burger patty

• Cook the Beyond Burger in the air fryer according to package directions, flipping halfway through.

Toast and prep the bagel

• Toast the everything bagel about 5 minutes before the patty finishes cooking.
• Spread vegan cream cheese on each half and add pickles to one side.

Assemble the bagel burger

• Place the cooked patty on the bagel, top with mustard and ketchup.
• Assemble, slice in half, and drizzle with hot sauce if desired.

Tips

• We typically cut the bagel in half since it’s easier to pick up any everything bagel seasoning that may fall off.
• Quality bagels work best since it’s one of the main ingredients.
• You can double the recipe with the same cook time in the air fryer.
• Cooking the burger in the air fryer keeps it juicy inside while cutting down on oil and cleanup.
