Air Fryer Burgers Recipe
Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Cooking Time: 12 minutes
Total Time: 27 minutes
Serving Size: 4
Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef (80% lean)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 4 hamburger buns
- Cheese slices (optional)
- Burger toppings (lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, etc.)
- Condiments (ketchup, mustard, mayo, etc.)
Instructions:
- Preheat Air Fryer:
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.
- Season the Ground Beef:
- In a mixing bowl, gently combine the ground beef with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Be careful not to overmix to keep the burgers tender.
- Form Burger Patties:
- Divide the seasoned ground beef into 4 equal portions. Shape each portion into a patty, making them slightly larger than your burger buns as they will shrink during cooking.
- Place Patties in Air Fryer:
- Place the burger patties in the air fryer basket, leaving some space between them.
- Air Fry:
- Cook the burgers in the air fryer at 375°F (190°C) for 6 minutes.
- Flip Burgers:
- Flip the burgers and cook for an additional 6 minutes for medium doneness. Adjust the time based on your preferred level of doneness.
- Optional Cheese:
- If you’re adding cheese, place a slice on each burger during the last minute of cooking, allowing it to melt.
- Toast Buns:
- Meanwhile, you can lightly toast the burger buns in the air fryer for about 1-2 minutes.
- Assemble Burgers:
- Remove the burger patties from the air fryer. Assemble your burgers by placing the patties on the buns and adding your favorite toppings and condiments.
- Serve:
- Serve the air fryer burgers immediately while they’re hot and juicy.
