What you’ll love about Using the Air fryer for Hamburger Patties:
During the warmer months, I thoroughly enjoy grilling on my Blackstone or Kamado Joe grill. However, living in New York state means enduring harsh winter conditions, which puts a damper on outdoor cooking. Thankfully, I’ve discovered the perfect alternative: air frying!

How to make Hamburger Patties in the Air Fryer
- Preheat your Air Fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

- Arrange the seasoned hamburger patties in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
- Cook the burgers in the Air Fryer for 5 minutes, then flip them over and continue cooking for an additional 5 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Optional: If desired, top each burger with a slice of cheese and cook for another 1 minute or until the cheese is melted.
- Serve your air-fried burgers with all your favorite toppings and enjoy a delicious, hassle-free meal!


Tips & Tricks
- Choose the Right Meat: Opt for ground beef with a higher fat content, such as 80/20 or 85/15, to ensure juicy and flavorful burgers. Leaner meat may result in dry patties.
- Don’t Overwork the Meat: Handle the ground beef gently and avoid overmixing or compacting the meat when forming the patties. Overworking the meat can result in tough burgers.
- Season Generously: Season the hamburger patties with salt and pepper or your favorite seasoning blend before cooking. Don’t be afraid to get creative with seasonings to add extra flavor.
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Always preheat your air fryer before adding the hamburger patties. Preheating ensures even cooking and helps to achieve a crispy exterior.
- Arrange Patties in a Single Layer: Place the hamburger patties in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they are not touching or overlapping. This allows for proper air circulation and even cooking.
- Flip Halfway Through Cooking: Flip the hamburger patties halfway through the cooking time to ensure that both sides cook evenly. This helps to achieve a golden-brown crust on both sides of the patties.
- Use a Meat Thermometer: For perfectly cooked hamburger patties, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The patties should reach 160 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure they are fully cooked.
- Add Cheese at the Right Time: If adding cheese to your burgers, wait until the last minute of cooking to place the cheese slices on top. This allows the cheese to melt without overcooking the patties.
- Avoid Overcrowding: Cook the hamburger patties in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket. Overcrowding can lead to uneven cooking and soggy patties.
- Rest Before Serving: Allow the cooked hamburger patties to rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in juicier and more flavorful burgers.
