Ingredients

  • 14 Breakfast sausage links raw and refrigerated

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the air fryer to 380 degrees.
  • Carefully place the sausage links in the air fryer in rows leaving room between them for the air to circulate.
  • Cook them for 7-9 minutes until the internal temperature is 160 degrees F.

Notes

  • Always leave space for the hot air to circulate so the sausages cook evenly.
  • Check on the sausages after 7 minutes. Depending on the size, I find that 7-9 minutes is usually perfect.
  • Use a meat thermometer to make sure the sausages have reached 160 degrees F on the inside.
  • Serve air fryer sausage hot! These links taste so good right out of the air fryer, I always try to time the rest of breakfast so I can get them on plates right away. 
  • Store leftovers in the fridge inside an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Cook frozen sausages in a preheated air fryer at 400 degrees F for about 5-6 minutes. This timing is for pre-cooked and not raw frozen sausage.
  • Reheat leftover sausage links in a preheated air fryer at 320 degrees F for about 2-3 minutes until they're eat through.
