- 1 teaspoon all purpose seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon dried dill
Instructions

Notes
- Store leftover cooked patties in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Freezing is optional, but the texture is best when enjoyed fresh.
- Reheat patties in the air fryer at 350 ℉ until warmed through and golden.
