Notes
Always preheat the air fryer for the best sear and even cooking.
Do not overcrowd the basket — airflow ensures a crispy exterior.
Add extra seasoning like garlic powder or smoked paprika for flavor.
Drain excess fat halfway through cooking for a crisper finish.
For thicker patties, increase cook time by 2–3 minutes.
