🧂 Ingredients
- 2 burger patties (beef, turkey, or veggie)
- Salt & pepper (to taste)
- Optional: cheese slices, buns, and your favorite toppings (lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, etc.)
👩🍳 Instructions
Step 1 – Preheat the Air Fryer
Preheat to 375°F (190°C) for 3–5 minutes.
Step 2 – Season the Patties
Lightly season both sides of your patties with salt and pepper.
If using frozen patties, you can skip seasoning until halfway through cooking.
Step 3 – Air Fry
Place patties in a single layer in the basket.
Cook at 375°F (190°C) for 8–10 minutes (fresh) or 12–14 minutes (frozen), flipping halfway through.
Use a meat thermometer — the internal temp should reach 160°F (71°C) for beef or 165°F (74°C) for turkey.
Step 4 – Add Cheese (Optional)
In the last minute, add a slice of cheese to each patty and close the air fryer to melt.
Step 5 – Serve & Enjoy
Assemble your burgers with buns, lettuce, tomato, pickles, and sauce.
Pair with air fryer fries or onion rings for a quick, delicious meal! 🍟
