Notes
Depending on the size of your air fryer you may be able to cook 2-4 patties at a time. If you have a basket air fryer, no need to flip. If you have an oven air fryer, rotate the trays halfway through, and keep a careful eye on them as they may cook through with a slightly different cook time.
