Air Fryer Sausages Recipe!

Making sausages in an air fryer is quick, easy, and results in perfectly cooked sausages that are crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Here’s a simple recipe for cooking sausages in your air fryer.

Air Fryer Sausages Recipe

Ingredients:

• 4-6 sausages (any kind: pork, chicken, turkey, or plant-based)

• Optional: Olive oil spray or a light brush of oil (for extra crispiness)

• Optional: Seasoning or herbs of your choice (garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, etc.)

Instructions:

Step 1: Preheat the Air Fryer

1. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3-5 minutes. Preheating ensures the sausages cook evenly and get a nice crisp outside.

Step 2: Prepare the Sausages

1. If you like, lightly spray the sausages with olive oil or brush a small amount on them. This helps achieve a golden and crispy texture, but it’s optional if you’re looking for a lower-fat option.

2. You can also season the sausages with your favorite herbs or spices if you want to enhance the flavor.

Step 3: Place the Sausages in the Air Fryer Basket

1. Arrange the sausages in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Be sure to leave some space between them to allow air circulation, which helps them cook evenly.

Step 4: Air Fry the Sausages

1. Cook the sausages at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes. Shake the basket halfway through cooking (about 5-6 minutes) to ensure even cooking. You can also flip the sausages over to get a more uniform golden-brown color.

2. The sausages should be browned on the outside and have an internal temperature of at least 160°F (71°C) for pork sausages (or according to the type of sausage you’re cooking).

Step 5: Check for Doneness

1. To make sure the sausages are fully cooked, check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer. Pork sausages should be at 160°F (71°C), while chicken or turkey sausages should reach 165°F (74°C).

Step 6: Serve

1. Once they’re done, remove the sausages from the air fryer and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.

2. Serve them with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, sautéed veggies, or even in a bun for a tasty sausage sandwich!

Tips:

• Variety: You can use any type of sausage (pork, chicken, turkey, or vegetarian). Just adjust the cooking time slightly based on the size and type of sausage.

• Spacing: Don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket, as this can prevent the sausages from cooking evenly.

• Flavoring: Feel free to experiment with different seasonings like paprika, cumin, or herbs like thyme or rosemary to suit your taste.

Cooking sausages in the air fryer is one of the easiest ways to get crispy, delicious sausages with minimal cleanup. Enjoy! 😋🍽️
