Air Fryer Hamburger Patties

Surprisingly, cooking hamburger patties in an air fryer is not only possible but also incredibly effective. We’ve become such fans that we now prefer cooking our pre-packaged hamburger patties in the air fryer.

For this recipe, we’ve chosen pre-packaged patties from grass-fed, grass-finished beef. If you’re making your own patties from scratch, you can follow these same easy steps.

Making hamburgers is a weekly tradition in our house because they’re a quick and satisfying meal everyone loves. That’s why we always keep a stock of 1-2 extra packages in the freezer.

Frying patties in a pan used to be a hassle for me. No matter how much I aired out the kitchen, the smell would linger, and cleaning up the grease splatter was a chore.

But with the air fryer, those issues are gone. There’s no smell, no mess, and the cleanup is a breeze since the air fryer tray is dishwasher safe.

Another perk? No need to flip the patties, and cooking them to the desired doneness is a breeze.

We preheat our Cosori air fryer and cook the patties at 400 degrees F (200-205 C) for 8 minutes. This gets them perfectly cooked—no longer pink in the middle but not overdone. If you prefer your burgers completely well-done, just leave them in for an extra 2 minutes, or reduce the time by 1-2 minutes for a medium cook.

Air Fryer Hamburger Cooking Tips

1. Season the patties with salt and pepper, just like you would for pan-frying.
2. For thicker patties, add an extra 1-2 minutes to the cooking time. Our standard patties are about 0.5 inches thick.
3. No need to add oil.
4. No need to flip during cooking.

For a gluten-free option, wrap the patties in Iceberg lettuce leaves and add your favorite toppings like sauces, pickles, and onions, mimicking a traditional bun.
