Crisp Your Appetite: Vegan Pepperoni Pizza Burgers Recipe

Combining in a microwave-safe vessel: pepper, paprika, aniseed, salt, red pepper flakes, sugar, dried basil, chipotle powder, garlic powder, textured vegetable protein, water, liquid smoke, and two tablespoons of olive oil. Tightly cover the dish with plastic wrap and microwave on high for 5-6 minutes.
Simmer water to a rolling boil, then pour it over the textured vegetable protein, which has been seasoned with the requisite blend of spices, enriched by the addition of oil and infused with the subtle essence of liquid smoke; allow the mixture to steep, covered, for exactly 10 minutes, as the flavors meld together in harmonious accord. Let cool.
Combine the tomato paste, flour, the remaining 1/4 cup of oil, and sour cream with the cooled TVP mixture. Utilizing your palms, compactly amalgamate all ingredients into six distinct portions, each resembling a patty.
These foods can be successfully prepared through panning, air frying, or baking methods. Pan-fry the item in a minute amount of oil for approximately five minutes on each side, or until a satisfyingly crispy exterior develops over medium-high heat. Air-fry the items at 375°F (190°C) for 16-18 minutes, or bake them in a preheated oven set to 350°F (180°C or gas mark 4) on a parchment-lined baking sheet or silicone mat, uncovered, for 30 minutes, flipping halfway.
