This easy and delicious Air Fryer Hamburgers recipe delivers juicy, flavorful burgers cooked to perfection using your air fryer. With simple seasonings and customizable toppings, these burgers come together quickly for a perfect weeknight dinner or casual meal. The air fryer ensures a tender, juicy burger with a slightly crisp exterior without the need for grilling or frying in oil.

  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

For the Burgers

  • 1 pound 90% lean ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

For Serving

  • 4 hamburger buns (brioche or pretzel buns recommended, split and toasted if desired)
  • Toppings of choice: lettuce, sliced tomato, avocado, Barbecue Sauce, ketchup, etc.

Instructions

  1. Add Ingredients: Place the ground beef in a large mixing bowl. Add the olive oil, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, kosher salt, and ground black pepper.
  2. Mix Gently: Using a fork, gently stir the ingredients together, taking care not to compact the meat. This helps keep the burgers tender.
  3. Shape Patties: Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and gently shape each into a ½-inch thick patty. Press a small indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb to help them cook evenly.
  4. Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) to ensure even cooking.
  5. Cook Patties: Place the patties in the air fryer basket, leaving space around each one for air circulation (cook in batches if necessary). Air fry for 6 minutes.
  6. Flip and Finish Cooking: Flip the burgers and continue cooking for an additional 2 to 4 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 155°F (68°C). If adding cheese, place it on the burgers during the last minute of cooking to melt.
  7. Assemble and Serve: Remove the burgers from the air fryer, place on toasted buns, and add your favorite toppings like lettuce, tomato, avocado, barbecue sauce, or ketchup. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

  • Handling the meat gently and not compacting it helps keep the burgers tender.
  • Make sure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket to allow proper air circulation for even cooking.
  • Check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer to avoid overcooking and drying out the burgers.
  • If desired, add cheese during the last minute of cooking for melted, gooey topping.
  • Feel free to customize toppings to suit your taste preferences.
