  • I sprinkle spices on one side of the burgers only.
  • You can use this recipe on homemade frozen beef patties made from ground beef as well.
  • In case your air fryer smoke especially when cooking fatty food or if you are cooking multiple batches consider adding a couple of tablespoons of water or a piece of bread in the dripping pan or at the bottom of your air fryer. Please refer to your manual for safety and proper use.
