Spicy roasted red pepper buns filled with a juicy Beyond Burger Jalapeño, fresh tomato-pepper salsa, and melted plant-based cheese. Perfect for anyone who loves bold flavours!

1. Make the red pepper buns

Add the roasted red pepper to a blender and blend until smooth.
In a large bowl, combine flour, yeast, sea salt, chilli powder, paprika, olive oil, and the roasted pepper purée.
Mix together with your hands to form a dough. Add a little tepid water if needed—the dough should be slightly sticky.
Knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and leave in a warm place to prove until doubled in size (about 1½ hours).

2. Shape and bake the buns

Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan).
Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces and shape into buns.
Place on a lined baking tray and leave to prove again for 30 minutes, until doubled in size.
Mix the olive oil and maple syrup and brush over the buns.
Sprinkle with chilli flakes.
Bake for 10-12 minutes until lightly golden.
Allow to cool before slicing.

3. Prepare the salsa

Quarter the tomatoes and scoop out the seeds.
Roughly chop the tomato flesh.
Combine with diced red pepper, red onion, jalapeño, garlic, oregano, lime juice, and a pinch of sea salt.
Mix well and set aside until ready to serve.

4. Cook the burgers

Heat a barbecue or griddle pan over medium-high heat.
Cook the Beyond Burger Jalapeño for 4-5 minutes per side, until cooked through.
Towards the end of cooking, sprinkle the grated plant-based cheese and a pinch of chilli flakes over the burgers and allow the cheese to melt.

5. Assemble the burgers

Slice open the chilli buns.
Spoon a little salsa onto the base of each bun.
Add shredded iceberg lettuce.
Place the cooked burger on top.
Spoon more salsa over the burger and finish with the top bun.

✅ Tip: Lightly toast the buns on the grill for 30-60 seconds before assembling for extra flavour and texture.
