Anyone can make these easy air fryer burgers, and with just a few ingredients you can whip up a dish everyone will love. Hungry? Read on and I, Chef Jenn, will show you all my tips and tricks to make amazing keto hamburgers!

What you Need To Make Easy Keto Air Fryer Burgers

• An air fryer – I use a Cuisinart oven-style multi-function air fryer. I love that it’s not just a one-trick appliance and I use it several times a day.
• Ground beef
• Garlic powder
• Onion powder
• Salt and pepper
• Toppings

How to Make Burgers in the Air Fryer

1. Mix the meat with the spices.
2. Form it into four equal patties and press down in the middle to create an indent. This helps to keep the burgers from puffing up too much in the middle.
3. Air fry at 360-F for about 6 minutes then flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
4. Top with cheese and your favorite veggies and condiments.

What Kind of Ground Beef Makes the Best Burgers

Fat is your friend when it comes to burgers, so resist the temptation to get lean ground beef. I love 80/20 beef for this recipe. It has enough fat for flavor, but not so much that it’s oozing out all over the place when cooking them.

You can also make air fryer hamburgers with a blend of chuck, sirloin, or your favorite cuts.

Chef Jenn’s Tips

• Use good quality – pasture-raised if you can get it – beef for the best-tasting burgers.
• Fresh beef really does taste better in these air fryer burgers, so try to use fresh ground beef instead of frozen and thawed. But if that’s all you’ve got, use it!
• Don’t overmix the beef. Just blend it enough that all the spices are worked through.
• Preheat your air fryer and always follow the manufacturer’s directions for the best results.
• Set them gently into the air fryer basket and don’t over-crowd them.

How To Serve Keto Burgers

• I love serving them on a chaffle, but lettuce wraps are good too!
• Top your burger with Sweet ‘n Tangy Pickles, lettuce, tomato (Are Tomatoes Keto?), and all your favorite condiments.
• Or, just eat your burger as it is with your favorite cheese on top.

What To Serve With Keto Burgers in the Air Fryer

Need delish keto sides for burgers? This is the perfect opportunity to make delish sides like Pickle Slaw (a cool and creamy coleslaw with the addition of pickle and bacon), go for veggie sticks with Green Goddess Dressing for dipping, or serve these burgers alongside tasty air-fried veggies like asparagus. For a classic meal, pair your burger with this Keto Strawberry Cheesecake Shake, and for dessert, these sugar-free keto ice cream cones are terrific!

STorage Tips

• Beefy low-carb burgers will freeze fabulously! Make them and then tightly wrap the chilled leftovers in plastic, then freeze for up to 3 months.
• They’ll also keep in the fridge for about 5 days if in an air-tight container.

Burger Recipe for 1

This is a great recipe if you’re cooking for one or you just have one ketoer in the house. Simply prepare the beef mixture as per the recipe, and divide it into four sections.

Freeze three of the sections to use later (you can freeze it in hamburger shape or as a lump of meat).

Thaw what you need and cook according to the recipe.
