Cooking air fryer hamburgers is going to quickly become a new favorite. The burgers turn out so juicy and then clean up is a breeze. With this recipe, the burger is seasoned well and cooked perfectly!
Raise your hand if you love a good, juicy burger but maybe don’t always want to go all the way out back, fire up the grill, stand out there in all the nature, wait for it to heat, grill the burgers, clean the grill, and then finally. after what feels like days of work, eat your burger.
Yeah, same here.
Enter the air fryer! It takes all of that work out of the equation! Also, clean-up is an absolute dream. Everything is contained in the air fryer basket and it’s beyond simple to wipe it down or toss it in the dishwasher.
These burgers turn out nice and juicy, with loads of flavor.
You can season them however you like and, of course, switch up the cheese and toppings to suit your tastes. We kept it pretty classic, just to give you a good starting point.
We serve these with our air fryer tater tots or air fryer waffle fries! So good!

Ground beef– We used an 80/20 ground beef. It is fine to go leaner than this, but don’t go less lean. You don’t want too much grease from the fat in your air fryer.
Cheese– Assuming you are going to use cheese there are three great options.
- American Cheese
- Cheddar Cheese
- Pepper Jack Cheese
Seasonings– We use Worcestershire sauce, liquid smoke, seasoned salt, and garlic powder.
Don’t forget your hamburger buns too of course!
Toppings
There are a bunch of burger toppings that are great options. Here are just a few ideas for you:
- Lettuce
- Tomato
- Pickle
- Onion
- Fried onion rings
- A fried egg
- Jalapenos
- Mushrooms

I usually use a George Foreman Grill for my hamburgers because it takes most of the grease/fat out. What happens to the grease when you air fry?
Karly says
It drains down to the bottom part of the basket, under the insert.

Hi! About using “Garlic Salt” this is an expensive way to buy
“Salt” You would save money buying the separate, & be able
to use a lesser amount of salt. Don’t forget there is normally
Salt & Pepper shakers on the table.

i agree, i never add salt to anything, ever. unless its needed ie bread dough.
