Simple, juicy, and basically foolproof — Air Fryer Sausages are a weeknight win 🌭✨
🌭 Air Fryer Sausages
Ingredients
Sausages (Italian, bratwurst, breakfast, chicken, turkey, or smoked)
Optional: a little oil spray
Instructions
Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
Place sausages in the basket in a single layer.
Air fry 9–12 minutes, flipping halfway.
Cook until browned and internal temp hits 160°F (71°C)
(165°F for poultry).
Rest 1–2 minutes, then serve.
⏱️ Timing Cheat Sheet
Breakfast links: 7–9 min
Fresh Italian / brats: 10–12 min
Pre-cooked smoked sausage: 6–8 min
Frozen sausages: add 3–5 min (flip twice)
🔥 Pro Tips
Prick thick sausages once or twice to prevent bursting.
No oil needed — sausage renders its own fat.
Want extra browning? Finish with +1–2 minutes.
Easy Add-Ons (Cook Together)
Sliced peppers & onions (toss with a little oil)
Potatoes or frozen hash browns
