Can You Cook Black Bean Burgers In The Air Fryer?

YES, you can cook black burgers in the air fryer! Just like any other type of burger, you’ll want to make sure that your meat is cooked all the way through before eating. To do this, use a cooking thermometer to check the internal temperature of your burgers.

They should be cooked to an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit. If they’re not quite cooked through, you can pop them back in the air fryer for a few minutes longer. Once they’re cooked, add your favorite toppings and enjoy!

Ingredients Needed For Air Fryer Black Bean Burger
  • Black Beans: Usually used canned or homemade. But they need to be fully cooked and drained.
  • Onions: I use yellow onions, that have been diced finely.
  • Panko Bread Crumbs: If you want to make these gluten-free or keto-friendly, replace the bread crumbs with an adequate replacement.
  • Minced Garlic: Use freshly minced garlic, or jarred minced garlic.
  • Seasonings: Salt, Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, and Black Pepper

How To Cook Black Bean Burger In The Air Fryer

In a medium bowl, mash the black beans with a fork or potato masher until they are mostly broken up. Then add your seasonings, diced onions, garlic, and breadcrumbs, and mix well until combined.

Brush the air fryer basket with olive oil. Place the burgers in the basket in a single layer and mist with more olive oil. Air fry at 400 degrees F for 10 minutes, flipping once halfway through cooking, until crispy and cooked through. Serve on toasted hamburger buns with avocado and tomato slices, if desired.”

Tips For Making The Best Black Bean Burgers In The Air Fryer

  1. Canned Beans? Rinse the beans thoroughly: Before forming the patties rinse the beans in cold water to remove any dirt or debris. Drain them well before proceeding.
  2. Mash the beans well: Use a potato masher or fork to mash the beans into a thick paste. Be sure to mash them thoroughly, as this will help bind the burgers together.
  3. Add your seasonings: Mix in your desired seasonings, such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, etc. Taste and adjust as necessary.
  4. Form the patties: Wet your hands slightly and divide the mixture into 4-6 equal portions. Use your hands to form each portion into a tight patty that is about ½-inch thick. Make sure all of the edges are sealed well so that the burgers don’t fall apart during cooking.
  5. Preheat your air fryer: Set your air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and allow it to preheat for 5 minutes before cooking. Place the burgers in the basket, making sure not to overcrowd it. You may need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
