Description

Yes, you can make a juicy, delicious burger straight from frozen — and the air fryer makes it ridiculously easy! Whether you're in a dinner-time pinch or just don’t feel like firing up the grill, this method delivers that crave-worthy burger without the fuss.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 14 frozen beef burger patties (¼ lb each, any brand)
  • Salt & pepper, to taste
  • Burger buns (or lettuce wraps for low-carb/low-point)
  • Optional toppings:
    • Lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles

Instructions

  1. Preheat air fryer to 370°F for 3–5 minutes.
  2. Place frozen patties in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
    • No need to thaw or add oil.
  3. Air fry for 12–14 minutes, flipping halfway through.
    • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temp reaches 160°F.

Notes

  • Don’t overcrowd the basket! Leave space between patties for even airflow.
  • Add cheese during the last 1–2 minutes so it melts perfectly.
  • Look for leaner options (90/10 or 93/7) for fewer WW points.
