- STOVETOP: In a hot frying pan, add 2 tbsp. oil and sear patties until crispy and heated throughout.
- ON THE GRILL: Place patties in a single layer on a lined tray or plate and freeze until firm, approx. 20-30 minutes. Preheat grill and wipe clean grates with an oiled cloth. Grill each patty approx. 5-7 minutes on each side.
- Top with avocado, sprouts, or your favorite condiments.
