Notes
- Pro tip: You can also cook fully cooked or frozen sausage in the air fryer as well! Fully cooked sausages should be cooked at 400 degrees for 5-6 minutes until crisp and heated through. If frozen sausages are stuck together, cook at 400 degrees until you can pull them apart. Cook 13-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until browned and the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees.
- The amount of sausage listed is a base line. You can cook as many sausages at once for the same amount of time as long as they are in a single layer with enough space in between them so the air can circulate.
- The best sausages for air frying include fresh links such as Italian sausage, bratwurst, chicken or turkey sausage, chorizo, andouille, smoked sausage and even breakfast sausage.
- Nutrition information will vary based on the size and type of sausage that you use. The information listed is a rough estimate only.
