Ingredients:
- 1 pound ground beef
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 4 hamburger buns
- Desired toppings (lettuce, tomato, cheese, etc.)
Directions:
- Preheat your airfryer to 370°F (190°C). Preheating is crucial to achieving that perfect outer crispiness.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well, but be careful not to overwork the meat, as this can result in tougher patties.
- Divide the mixture into four equal portions, shaping each portion into a patty. Make sure the patties are slightly larger than your burger buns, as they will shrink a bit during cooking.
- Place the patties into the preheated airfryer basket, ensuring they are not touching each other. This allows for proper airflow and even cooking.
- Cook the patties for 10-12 minutes, flipping them halfway through. Adjust the cooking time based on your preference for doneness.
- While the patties cook, toast the burger buns in a regular toaster or on a pan if you prefer them warm and slightly crispy.
- Once the patties are done, remove them from the airfryer and let them rest for a couple of minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute and ensures optimal flavor.
- Assemble your burgers by placing the patties on the toasted buns. Add your desired toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, cheese, and condiments. Get creative and make it your own!
- Serve immediately, and enjoy the amazing taste and texture of airfryer-cooked hamburgers.
With the help of your airfryer, you can now whip up delicious burgers right in your own kitchen. Gone are the days of greasy stovetop cooking or the need for an outdoor grill. The airfryer provides a healthier alternative without sacrificing taste or texture.
