I love making homemade hamburgers and the Air Fryer makes it so easy.

There are just a few tips and tricks for you to make the best juicy Air Fryer hamburgers, and I am going to share them all with you.

You can make these hamburger patties fresh, or you can use a frozen hamburger patty. I am going to share with you all of the ways to make the perfect, delicious burger in your Air Fryer.

Making hamburgers has always been something we like to do with the family. It’s also one of my quick go-to easy recipes that I know everyone is going to love and enjoy. In fact, I have been known to skip the grill and oven bake hamburgers just to escape from the blistering Louisiana heat.

Now I can share with you the best way to beat the heat by skipping both the oven and the grill and making the perfect Air Fryer burger. All you need is your hamburgers, air fryer, and your favorite toppings to make this the best burgers you’ve made.

How to Make an Air Fryer Hamburger:

  1. Preheat the Air Fryer to 370 degrees Fahrenheit. Prepare the Air Fryer basket.
  2. Season the hamburger meat as desired and create the patties to be about 1inch thick.
  3. In a single layer, add the seasoned beef burgers to the bottom of the preheated air fryer basket.
  4. Cook on 370 degrees for 6 minutes. Flip the burgers and cook for an additional 6 minutes. If desired, add a slice of cheese to the burgers and cook an additional minute until the cheese is melted.
  5. Use a meat thermometer and check the beef has reached an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
  6. Remove the hamburgers from the basket and serve with your favorite toppings.

  1. Preheat the Air Fryer to 380 degrees Fahrenheit. Prepare the Air Fryer basket.
  2. Add the frozen patties to the bottom of the basket in a single layer and season as desired.
  3. Cook the frozen burgers for 18-20 minutes, flipping the hamburger patties halfway through.
  4. When you have reached the 18-minute mark, add a slice of cheese if desired and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until the cheese is melted.
  5. Use a meat thermometer and check the internal temperature has reached 160 degrees Fahrenheit before removing and serving.
  6. Serve with your favorite buns and toppings.
