Cooking burgers in the air fryer is quick and easy! Here's what you'll need:

- Salt and pepper: You'll want to be generous with seasoning.

- Don't preheat the air fryer! Doing so could cook the outside of the burger quicker than the inside.
- If you're doubling the recipe or cooking multiple batches, you may need to reduce the cook time by a couple minutes.
- For quick cleanup, line the bottom of your air fryer with aluminum foil.
- Keep a close eye on the burgers, as cooking times may vary depending on what type of air fryer you use.

Oaky!!! This is a game changer for me. My kids ALWAYS want hamburgers but I don't always want to get the grill out and I don't really like cooking them on the stovetop. This was perfect.. the kids gobbled them up and it was so easy.
