Ingredients
Scale
Burger Patties
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
Buns & Toppings
- 4 hamburger buns
- Optional toppings: lettuce, tomato, onion, cheese, condiments
Instructions
- Preheat Ninja Foodi Air Fryer: Preheat your Ninja Foodi Air Fryer to 375°F (190°C) to ensure even and efficient cooking.
- Prepare Burger Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine 1 pound of ground beef with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix thoroughly until the seasoning is evenly incorporated.
- Form Patties: Divide the seasoned meat mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a round burger patty of similar thickness for uniform cooking.
- Arrange Patties in Air Fryer: Place the burger patties in the preheated air fryer basket, spacing them apart so hot air can circulate for even cooking.
- Air Fry the Burgers: Cook the burgers for 10 to 12 minutes at 375°F, flipping them halfway through to brown both sides evenly. Cook until they reach your preferred level of doneness.
- Toast the Buns: While the burgers cook, toast the hamburger buns in the air fryer for 1 to 2 minutes until they are lightly golden and warm.
- Rest and Assemble: Remove the cooked burgers from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes to retain juices. Assemble each burger on a toasted bun with your favorite toppings such as lettuce, tomato, onion, cheese, and condiments.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve the freshly assembled burgers hot for a tasty and satisfying meal.
Notes
- Resting the patties after cooking improves juiciness.
- Make sure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket for even cooking.
- Use a meat thermometer if desired: 160°F (71°C) is recommended for ground beef.
- Customize your toppings to your preference for variety.
- Buns can be toasted simultaneously with burgers if space allows, checking timing carefully.
