Follow these simple steps to make the perfect air fryer burgers:

Prep the Mixture: Start by combining ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and Worcestershire sauce in a mixing bowl. Use your hands to blend until just combined; avoid overmixing as that can make the burgers tough.

Form the Patties: Divide the mixture into four equal parts and gently shape them into burger patties. Make a small indent in the center of each patty with your thumb, this helps them to cook evenly and prevents puffing.

Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 360°F (182°C) for about 5 minutes. This ensures that the burgers cook evenly from the start.

Cook the Burgers: Place the patties in the air fryer basket in a single layer (you might need to cook them in batches). Cook them for 10-12 minutes at 360°F, flipping halfway through. If you like cheese, add a slice on top of each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.

Prepare the Buns and Toppings: While the burgers are cooking, toast the buns in the air fryer for about 2 minutes if you'd like a little crunch. Prep your favorite toppings on a plate.

Assemble the Burger: Once the burgers are cooked, place them on the prepared buns and add your chosen toppings. Serve immediately.
