How To Make Air Fryer Greek Burgers
Step One: Prepare the Meat Mixture: In a bowl, mix the ground meat with crumbled feta, herbs, garlic, salt, and pepper. Combine gently until all ingredients are incorporated without overworking the meat.
Form Patties: Divide the mixture and shape it into burger patties, aiming for an even thickness so they cook uniformly in the air fryer.
Preheat and Cook: Preheat your air fryer to 375 degrees F (190°C). Lightly coat the air fryer basket with a bit of cooking spray, then place the patties in a single layer, ensuring they don’t overlap. Set cook time for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they reach your desired doneness.
Air Fryer Greek Burgers Recipe Tips
- Internal Temperature: Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of your burger, the ground beef should reach 160 degrees F (medium), and the ground lamb patties should reach 160 degrees F.
- Crowding: For best results, do not crowd the air fryer basket. Otherwise, the greek burgers won’t cook up correctly. Leave plenty of space around the burgers, and you will get a tasty and juicy air fryer burger.
- Flipping: Depending on what air fryer you own, you may need to flip the burgers halfway during the cooking process.
- Making Burgers In An Air Fryer Oven: If you want to make Greek Burgers in An Air Fryer Oven, set them on the bottom shelf and follow the recipe and temperature in the recipe card below.
