Hamburgers always seem to be a favorite! You can make them from scratch, you can buy them premade or frozen! In our case, we are using a Beyond Burger in the air fryer but you can use whatever your family enjoys. We LOVE pairing our burgers with a side of asian salad. And we think you will too!

DIFFERENT TYPES OF AIR FRYER HAMBURGERS

• Beef Burger - you can make your own beef burger by combining ground beef with a little salt and pepper. Shape the beef into patties and you are ready to cook. Air Fryer burgers made with beef will be cooked at the same temperature of 350 degrees F and for 8-12 minutes depending on how well done you like your burger.
• Turkey Burgers - you can make your own air fryer turkey burger by combining ground turkey, bread crumbs, onion and some seasonings. Air Fryer Burgers made with turkey can be cooking at 360 degrees F for 16 minutes. 
• Veggie Burgers - you can make an air fryer burger out of pre-made frozen veggie patties such as Hilary’s, or a refrigerated one called Beyond Meat. You can also make your vegetable air fryer hamburgers from scratch! The beyond meat burgers you can cook at 350 degrees F for 8 minutes.

AIR FRYER HAMBURGER TIPS

• If you are making your air fryer burgers from scratch may sure that you shape the patties into sizes that fit into your air fryer.
• For frozen burgers be sure to add some extra minutes so the air fryer burger cooks all the way through.
• If you are making a beef or turkey air fryer burger, make sure to test the burger with a meat thermometer. 
• You can add spices to your burgers, if shaping them from scratch! I love adding liquid smoke to my burgers.
• If cooking using beef, you can place a little water on the inside of the basket so help prevent smoking. When the fat drains into the basket and sizzles it sometimes smokes a little.

HOW LONG DO YOU COOK HAMBURGERS IN THE AIR FRYER?

There are a few variables to getting the perfect air fryer burger. Basically, the type of air fryer you are using and how well done you want your air fryer hamburger. Hopefully, you’ve played with your air fryer a bit and have done some trial and error with other recipes. Sometimes some air fryer run a little “hotter” than others.

Generally speaking, I like to cook my burgers at 350 degrees F for 8-12 minutes. At the 12 minute mark your air fryer burger should be well done. This is based off of an inch thick hamburger. If your air fryer burger is thinner than one inch I would decrease the cooking time.
