This recipe is crazy simple. First, preheat the air fryer at 400˚F for 5 minutes, then place frozen patties in the air fryer basket so they don’t overlap. Cook at 370˚F for 7-10 minutes. Flip burgers and cook for an additional 6-7 minutes at 370˚F. And there you have it- juicy air fryer burgers!
Like all air fryer recipes, cooking time varies depending on the make and model of your air fryer. And with burgers, it also depends on how cooked through you’d like your burgers to be. So, it’s important to check on your patties at about the first 7 minute mark.
If you love onions on your burgers, then you will want to sauté some onions in the air fryer too! This is super easy to do luckily!
Before you flip your burgers and cook them for an additional 6-7 minutes, first lightly spray the onions and sprinkle them with salt. Then spread them on the burgers in the air fryer basket and let them cook with the patties for the last 6-7 minutes.
If you love cheeseburgers, then you are in luck! All you need to do is add sliced cheese to your patties for the last minute or two of cooking (or until the cheese melts as you desire). The cheese should stay on the burger, but if you worried it will fly off, keep it together with a toothpick.
I personally love to toast my hamburger buns, but not all my kids like it. If you like toasted hamburger buns, all you have to do is wipe down the air fryer basket with a paper towel to get rid of excess hamburger grease. Then place your buns inside and cook at 400˚F for 2-3 minutes.
