Notes

  • The total time is sufficient for making 4 servings.
  • The nutrition values don't include the burger buns.
  • Enjoy the hamburgers while they're still hot and pair them with French fries for the ultimate comfort food combo.
  • Depending on the model of your air fryer, the cooking time might vary.
  • Always check your burgers to prevent them from overcooking, and add a little more cooking time for thick patties.
  • If you own a thermometer, you can use it to check the patty's doneness.
  • You can store uncooked patties in the fridge for about 3 days and in the freezer for about 3 months.
  • For cooked patties, I recommend storing them in the fridge for a maximum of 3 days.
