Ingredients
- Frozen smashed burger patties as many as will fit in a single layer in your air fryer basket, typically 1-2
- slice of cheese (for cheeseburger) Optional
- burger bun and toppings (lettuce, tomato, pickles, sauces) Optional
Instructions
- Remove frozen smashed burger patties from the package—no need to defrost.
- Place patties in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure not to overlap.
- Set the air fryer to 400°F and cook for 9 minutes.
- Once done, check that burgers are nicely browned and fully cooked.
- Optional: To make a cheeseburger, place a slice of cheese on top of each patty once cooking is finished. Return the basket to the air fryer (turned off) for about 1 minute to melt with residual heat.

Notes
- Cooking time and temperature remain the same whether you're cooking one or two patties.
- Great for low-carb and keto diets if served without the bun.
