- Prep Time: 3 minutes
- Cook Time: 7-9 minutes
- Total Time: 10-12 minutes
- Yield: 2 servings
- Category: Main Course
- Cuisine: American
Ingredients
- Frozen burger patties (beef, turkey, chicken, or plant-based)
- Cooking spray or a light brush of oil
- Salt and pepper
- Sliced cheese (optional: cheddar, American, pepper jack, blue cheese, Swiss, vegan cheese)
- Burger buns (toasted in air fryer or soft)
- Condiments and toppings: lettuce, tomato slices, pickles, ketchup, mustard, mayo
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and let it heat up for about 3 minutes.
- Lightly spray both sides of frozen burger patties with cooking spray or brush with a little oil. Sprinkle salt and pepper evenly on each side.
- Place patties in the air fryer basket flat with some space between each. Avoid overcrowding.
- Cook at 375°F (190°C) for 7 minutes. Flip patties halfway through (around 3-4 minutes).
- If using cheese, place a slice on each patty after flipping to melt during remaining cook time.
- Check internal temperature with a thermometer to ensure patties reach 160°F (71°C). If not, cook an additional 1-2 minutes.
- Toast buns in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 1-2 minutes, cut side up, if desired.
- Assemble burgers with patties, buns, and your favorite toppings and condiments. Serve immediately.
Notes
Do not skip preheating the air fryer to lock in juices and create a crispy crust. Flip patties halfway through cooking for even browning. Use a thermometer to ensure internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) for safety. Avoid pressing patties during cooking to prevent dryness. Cook in batches if making multiple patties to avoid overcrowding. Adjust cook time if patties are thicker than usual.
