Ingredients

2 frozen hamburger patties
1 tsp salt (to taste)
1 tsp black pepper (to taste)
2 slices cheese (optional)

Instructions

Preheat your air fryer to 380°F for 3–5 minutes.
Place frozen hamburger patties in the basket in a single layer without overlapping.
Cook for 5–6 minutes, then flip the patties to ensure even cooking.
Continue cooking for another 5–6 minutes until browned and cooked through.
Add cheese slices during the last 1–2 minutes if desired.
Check that the internal temperature reaches 160°F for safe consumption.
Let the burgers rest for 1–2 minutes before serving.

Notes

Flip patties halfway through cooking for even results. Add cheese during the last 1–2 minutes if desired. Use an internal thermometer to ensure burgers reach 160°F. Avoid overcrowding the basket for proper airflow.
