Equipment
- Air Fryer
- Mixing Bowl
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb ground pork 80/20 blend recommended
- 1.5 tsp sage dried
- 0.5 tsp thyme dried
- 0.5 tsp black pepper freshly ground
- 0.5 tsp salt kosher
- 0.25 tsp crushed red pepper optional for heat
- 1 tbsp maple syrup optional for sweetness
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the ground pork with sage, thyme, black pepper, salt, crushed red pepper, and maple syrup if using.
- Use your hands to mix gently until the seasonings are evenly distributed throughout the meat, being careful not to overwork it.
- Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape them into 1/2-inch thick patties, pressing your thumb gently in the center of each to prevent puffing up.
- Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (190°C) for 3 minutes.
- Place the patties in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they don't touch or overlap for even cooking.
- Cook for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 160°F and the patties are golden brown with crispy edges.
- Remove and let rest for 2 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
