Flaky, Spiced Vegan Beef Patties (Caribbean-Inspired!)

These vegan beef patties are flaky, spiced, and packed with bold Caribbean-inspired flavor. From the golden crust to the savory filling, they’re everything you want in a patty — minus the animal meat.

This recipe is deeply comforting and perfect for meal prep, gatherings, or whenever you’re craving something hearty and satisfying. They bake up beautifully, freeze well, and reheat like a dream — which makes them just as practical as they are delicious.

Whether you grew up eating patties or you’re trying them for the first time, this vegan version proves that plant-based food comes with zero sacrifice and all the flavor.

Serve them on their own, with a dipping sauce, or alongside a full spread — you really can’t go wrong.
