Description
Don’t let leftover burgers go to waste! This guide shows you how to reheat a burger in the air fryer for a perfectly crispy bun and a juicy, hot patty every time.
Ingredients
- 1 cooked burger patty, leftover
- 1 burger bun, leftover
- Fresh toppings (lettuce, tomato, pickles, onions)
- Condiments (ketchup, mustard, mayo)
- Optional: 1 slice cheese
Instructions
- Step 1: Disassemble the Burger: Carefully separate the burger patty from the bun and all wet toppings. Set fresh toppings and condiments aside.
- Step 2: Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
- Step 3: Reheat the Patty: Place the burger patty in the air fryer basket. Cook for 3-5 minutes, flipping halfway, until heated through. If adding cheese, place it on top of the patty during the last minute of cooking.
- Step 4: Toast the Bun: Remove the patty and set aside. Place the bun halves, cut-side up, in the air fryer basket. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until lightly toasted and warm. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
- Step 5: Assemble and Serve: Place the hot patty on the bottom bun. Add fresh toppings and your favorite condiments. Top with the other bun half and enjoy immediately!
