Big Zuu’s plantain cheeseburgers

TV star Big Zuu shares his recipe for incredible plantain cheese burgers. Think juicy beef burgers topped with crisp beef bacon and fudgy, golden plantain – all cooked in just 10 minutes in the air fryer. Quick and easy: Fancy a burger fix in a hurry? These cheeseburgers only need 10 minutes in the air fryer. The beef bacon, burger patties and plantain all cook at the same time. Top tip: You could also toast the burger buns in the air fryer – spread some butter on the cut sides and cook them for a minute or two until golden. Source the ingredients: Beef bacon is cured, smoked beef belly and can be enjoyed by those who don’t eat pork. It’s a bit tougher than regular bacon but has a rich, beefy taste. You can get it from specialist sellers such as The Dorset Meat Company and Tomhixon.co.uk as well as some halal butchers. You can get plantains – which look like large bananas – from good greengrocers and many large supermarkets. Next: discover more delicious air fryer recipes. Recipe by Ninja CRISPi x Big Zuu
