What if store-bought Veggie Patties aren’t for you??
If you are after some vegetarian or vegan-friendly burger patties that are LowER/ Low carb, I found a few great recipes online. These do require some work, so if you are time-poor, it might be a good idea to plan some time and make a whole batch of these so they are ready to go for you next time!
Vegetarian Keto Burgers… Using Portobello Mushrooms as the patty!
Firstly mushrooms are sooo good for you! Portobello mushrooms are fat, juicy, and flavoursome which makes them perfect for a burger patty. This recipe stuffs them with yummy flavours so they are even tastier! (Don’t forget to hit the ‘jump to recipe’ button 😉 )

This recipe uses cauli-rice and mixed veggies as the patty, no mention if these could be done in an air-fryer, but I am sure they could be!

Veggie Burgers… This recipe seems to be the most time consuming of the 3, that said, its loaded with lots of great ingredients and veggies – so well worth it!
