- ½ teaspoon dried basil
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions

- Depending on which size of air fryer you have, you'll be able to make 2 or up to 4 air fryer burgers at a time.
- Cook the burgers in the air fryer for a total of 12 minutes, flipping after 8 minutes, or until your desired degree of doneness.
- If you're making cheeseburgers, add the cheese after flipping the burgers.
- Serve the cheeseburgers or burgers hot with your favorite burger toppings like sauces, bacon, lettuce, tomatoes, onion, pickles, or avocado slices.
Notes
- If you bought grocery store fresh burger patties, follow the cooking temperature and time in the recipe. Since grocery store patties are often thinner than homemade, they could cook a minute or two faster.
- Use a cooking thermometer to check the internal temperature, and cook until they reach 165 degrees.
- A burger press can be used to evenly shape the patties, but it's not essential. You can also shape them with clean hands.
- The recipe makes four 4 oz burgers, you'll want to use small buns or add two burgers per larger bun. These are great served on lettuce leaves too for a high protein low carb meal.
