These air fryer hamburger patties are juicy, flavorful, and incredibly easy to make. Whether you’re cooking fresh or frozen patties, you’ll have a delicious burger ready in minutes!

Ingredients

  • 4 hamburger patties (fresh or frozen, about ¼ lb/115g each)
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil (optional, for fresh patties)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)

Optional Toppings

  • Cheddar, Swiss, American, or pepper jack cheese
  • Lettuce
  • Tomato slices
  • Red onion
  • Pickles
  • Ketchup, mustard, or mayonnaise

Instructions

Fresh Hamburger Patties

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3–5 minutes.
  2. Pat the patties dry and lightly brush with olive oil, if desired.
  3. Season both sides with the salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika.
  4. Place the patties in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
  5. Air fry for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking.

Frozen Hamburger Patties

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Place the frozen patties directly into the air fryer basket.
  3. Air fry for 14–16 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking.
  4. Season after the first flip, once the surface has thawed enough for the seasoning to stick.

Add Cheese

  • Place a slice of cheese on each patty during the last 1 minute of cooking so it melts perfectly.

Internal Temperature

Cook the burgers until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) for safe consumption.

Serving Ideas

  • 🍔 On toasted burger buns with your favorite toppings
  • 🥗 Over a fresh salad
  • 🥬 Wrapped in lettuce for a low-carb option
  • 🍟 With air fryer fries or roasted potatoes
  • 🌽 Alongside corn on the cob or coleslaw

Tips

  • Avoid pressing down on the patties while they cook, as this releases the juices.
  • Leave space between the patties for proper air circulation.
  • Use an instant-read meat thermometer for the most accurate results.
  • Cooking times may vary depending on the thickness of the patties and your air fryer model.
