Ingredients

• 1 or more Sandwich Bros Burger Melts (frozen)

• Optional:

  • Olive oil spray (optional, for a slightly crisper pita)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Air Fryer

Set your air fryer to 350°F (177°C) and preheat for 2–3 minutes.

Step 2: Prepare the Burger Melts

Remove the plastic wrapper. No need to separate the pita and burger.

Step 3: Air Fry to Perfection

• Cook at 350°F for 6–8 minutes, flipping halfway through

Step 4: Cool Slightly & Serve

Let cool for 1–2 minutes before eating—the filling can be very hot.

Pro Tips for the Best Results

Flip Halfway Through Cooking

Ensures the pita warms evenly and the beef stays juicy.

No Need for Extra Oil

The pita and beef cook beautifully without additional oil, but a light spray can add extra crispness if desired.

Use a Parchment Liner if Needed

Helps catch any melted cheese for easier cleanup.

Serve Immediately for Best Texture

Fresh out of the air fryer, the pita will be soft and the cheese perfectly gooey.
