Ingredients:
- 4 sausages (any type you prefer, such as Italian, bratwurst, or breakfast sausage)
- Olive oil or cooking spray (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat the Air Fryer:
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3-5 minutes.
- Prepare the Sausages:
- If your sausages are fresh, there’s no need to pierce them. If they are pre-cooked or have natural casings, you can prick them with a fork to prevent bursting.
- Lightly brush the sausages with olive oil or spray them with cooking spray. This step helps to promote browning and crispiness.
- Air Fry the Sausages:
- Place the sausages in the air fryer basket in a single layer, leaving some space between each sausage to allow for air circulation.
- Cook the sausages at 400°F (200°C) for 12-15 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time. The exact cooking time may vary depending on the thickness and type of sausage you’re using.
- Check the internal temperature of the sausages using a meat thermometer. They are done when they reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) for pork sausages or 165°F (74°C) for chicken or turkey sausages.
- Serve:
- Once the sausages are cooked through and golden brown, remove them from the air fryer.
- Let the sausages rest for a few minutes before serving.
Tips:
- If your air fryer has a grill pan accessory, you can use it for cooking sausages to allow excess fat to drip away.
- For extra flavor, you can season the sausages with your favorite herbs and spices before cooking.
- Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
- Feel free to cook different types of sausages together, adjusting the cooking time if needed.
Enjoy your delicious air fryer sausages served with your favorite sides or in a bun as a sandwich!
