Instructions
0 Prep the air fryer. If your air fryer model requires it, pre-heat to 325 degrees F. The air fryer I use doesn't require pre-heating, but this will vary depending on air fryer models. After pre-heating, grease the air fryer basket with pan spray. 1 Add sausage to the air fryer. Arrange the sausage links or patties in a single layer in your air fryer basket, ensuring you're leaving enough room in between each link or patty for the hot air to circulate. If you have a large batch you are cooking, it is best to cook the sausages in batches for best results. 2 Cook the sausage. Once the breakfast sausage is arranged in your air fryer basket, place the basket back into the air fryer and cook on 325F. If you are cooking frozen breakfast sausages, you'll want to cook them for 10-12 minutes. If you are cooking fresh breakfast sausages, they will need a little less time and should cook for 8-10 minutes. I have found 8 minutes to be enough, but you can always test them with a meat thermometer to be extra sure they're done. The internal temperature should be around 160F for pork sausage and 165F for chicken or turkey sausage.View original recipe
