How to cook frozen burgers in Air fryer

To cook frozen burgers in air fryer, no need to thaw first. Just get it out of the freezer, remove the parchment paper separating the frozen patties and put the patties in the air fryer.

I like to sprinkle some salt and pepper on the top of the patties before cooking and then on the other side when I flip them while cooking.

I cook frozen patties at 350°F / 176°C for 12- 14 mins or till the internal temperature reaches 165°F / 74°C

Then use for burgers.

Make it in the oven

Don’t have an air fryer yet. You bake these in the oven following the steps below

• Preheat your oven to 400°F / 204°C, Lind a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil then place a rack that fits on it.
• Season the burgers by sprinkling seasoning blend on one side.
• Place burgers on the rack. Bake burgers for 20 - 25 mins or until internal temperature reads at least 165°F / 74°C.
• When cooked, turn off heat and place cheese slices on top. The residual heat will melt the cheese.

How long to cook a frozen hamburger patty in an air fryer.

This will depend on the sizes of burgers and how many being cooked. The burgers I used are about 4.5 inches in diameter and about ½ and inch thick.

I cook 4 patties in my Air fryer for 12-14 mins. The important thing is for the internal temperature to read at least 165°F / 176°C. If you don’t have a meat thermometer (which I highly recommend if you intend to cook meats often in your air fryer) cut the patties open to be sure it’s not longer pink inside.

How to season frozen burgers (hamburger patties)

Getting frozen burgers well seasoned to your liking may be a bit challenging for obvious reasons. I use a few tricks when cooking frozen burgers to get them seasoned and not completely bland.

First mix your seasoning together. Usually use just salt, onion or garlic powder and black pepper. You can use whatever seasoning blend you like.

Next season the top of the frozen burgers. Do not season the other side yet. Season when you flip it over to the other side while cooking.

Another trick I use is to add a bit of seasoning to my burger sauce and of course use cheese slices too. All these add up to make your frozen burgers tasty.

Tips for success

• As always air fryers are different. I made this recipe in my gourmia air fryer and it was fine at 12 mins. I moved up to 14 mins because my meat thermometer read 163 at 12 mins and I wanted it to get up to 165 to be on the safe side.
• No need to thaw, Cook frozen hamburgers from frozen.
• A meat thermometer is important making cooks meats especially frozen meats. Make sure to cook these patties up to an internal temperature of 165 F
• If making cheese burger, once the burgers are fully cooked, place the cheese slices on top of the burgers and slide basket back in. No need to turn on the air fryer cos the residual is enough to melt the cheese.
