Air Fryer Ground Beef Patty for One
Ingredients:
- 1/4 pound (about 115 grams) ground beef
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- Optional: 1/2 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley or dried herbs (e.g., thyme or oregano)
Instructions:
- Preheat: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare Beef: In a small bowl, combine the ground beef with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. If using, add the chopped parsley or dried herbs. Mix until evenly combined but avoid overmixing.
- Form Patty: Shape the beef mixture into a single patty about 1/2 inch thick. Make a small indentation in the center of the patty with your thumb to ensure even cooking.
- Cook: Lightly brush or spray the air fryer basket with olive oil. Place the patty in the air fryer basket. Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the patty is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 160°F or 71°C).
- Serve: Let the patty rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy it in a bun, on a salad, or with your favorite sides.
Tips:
- Avoid Overcrowding: Ensure the patty is placed in a single layer and not crowded to cook evenly.
- Check Temperature: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the patty is fully cooked.
