Who doesn't love a good burger? They're filling, delicious, and an easy way to feed your family. With summertime right around the corner, A LOT of us are going to be firing up the grills and getting it done!

But don't overlook air fryer burgers! This method is easy for indoor cooking, still delivers a juicy burger, and keeps cleanup minimal. If you are getting familiar with your air fryer, my beginner's guide to using an air fryer and air fryer cooking times chart can help with timing, spacing, and temperature.

This post is just as simple as my post on air fryer hot dogs. There's not much to it at all. You just form your patties, season them according to your preferences, and drop them in the air fryer.

How long do you cook burgers in the air fryer?

Use a food thermometer to check the center of each burger. Ground beef must reach at least 160°F (71°C), following USDA safe-temperature guidance. The listed 10 minutes at 350°F (175°C) is a starting point; continue cooking if the center has not reached that temperature. If you are converting an oven or grill recipe, use this air fryer conversion chart as a starting point.

Following a low carb diet and missing the bun?

There are a lot of low carb and keto-friendly options popping up for buns. If you don't want to make keto buns yourself, definitely check out SOLA Buns. That's what I ate these burgers with, and I think they're pretty tasty! They're 6g Net Carbs per serving, but the ingredients don't fit into a stricter keto protocol.
