Why I Love this Recipe

Air fryer burgers have become my boys' latest obsession instead of fast food. The air fryer makes it easy for them to make a healthy meal in no time. Did I also mention that you don't need to thaw air fryer burgers? Yes, cook the frozen burger patties straight from the freezer.

Why Make A Frozen Burger In Air Fryer?

Air fryer frozen burgers are simple and easy to make. They are also quick and convenient. Plus, you don't need to thaw the burgers before cooking them!

What Air Fryer to Use?

I recommend using a 6-quart air fryer or larger for this recipe. If you have a 3.5-quart air fryer, cook the burgers in batches. No specific air fryer is necessary.

Best Tips For Air Fryer Frozen Hamburgers:

  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket. If you have a small air fryer, cook the burgers in batches using a single layer.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check if the burgers are cooked through. The internal temperature should be at least 160 degrees F.
  • For extra flavor, brush the burgers with BBQ sauce or your favorite seasoning before cooking.
