2. Line the air fryer oven pan with a sheet of parchment paper. This ensures that the patties won’t stick and makes cleanup a breeze.

5. Drizzle the mixture with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, ensuring that every ingredient is well coated.
6. Form the mixture into equal-sized patties. Place these patties in a single layer on the parchment-lined air fryer oven pan. This arrangement allows for even cooking and browning.
7. Slide the pan into the preheated air fryer and let the magic happen. Air fry the patties for approximately 15 minutes or until they achieve a gorgeous golden-brown hue.
8. Once cooked to perfection, remove the patties from the air fryer. Their enticing aroma and appearance will undoubtedly whet your appetite.
