Air Fryer Hamburgers (Tender, Juicy & Fast)
These tender, juicy Air Fryer Hamburgers cook in just minutes and deliver consistent, flavorful results every time. Using an 80/20 beef blend ensures moisture while the air fryer locks in juices without the mess of pan frying or grilling.
Ingredients
Hamburgers
- 1 pound ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 cup barbecue sauce optional
- 4 hamburger buns
- Toppings: cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickles, onions as desired
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder. Mix until just combined.
- Form the mixture into 4 equal patties about 1/2 inch thick. Press a thumb indent into the center of each patty. Brush with BBQ sauce if using.
- Preheat the air fryer to 370°F (188°C).
- Place patties in a single layer in the air fryer basket and cook for 6 minutes.
- Flip the burgers and cook an additional 3–5 minutes, or until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
- For cheeseburgers, add a slice of cheese and cook for 1 more minute.
- Serve immediately on buns with your preferred toppings.
Notes
Use 80/20 beef for the juiciest results. Pressing a thumb indent in the center prevents swelling. For frozen patties, add 5–7 minutes to the total cooking time
