Ingredients
Air Fryer Sausages
- 6 links fresh pork or beef sausages about 1 pound or 450 grams total; see notes for poultry sausage
Equipment
- 1 air fryer basket-style or oven-style
- 1 Instant-read thermometer
- 1 pair of tongs
Instructions
Method
- Set the air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Preheat for about 3 minutes if your appliance instructions recommend it.
- Place the sausages in the basket in a single layer, leaving a little space between the links. Do not pierce the casings.
- Air-fry for 12 to 15 minutes, turning with tongs halfway through, until evenly browned. Begin checking at 12 minutes because link thickness and air fryer models vary.
- Insert an instant-read thermometer through the end of the thickest sausage toward its center. Pork or beef sausage must reach 160°F (71°C); poultry sausage must reach 165°F (74°C). Rest for 2 to 3 minutes before serving.

Notes
- For thin breakfast links, begin checking after 8 minutes. Thick bratwurst may need several extra minutes.
- Do not rely on exterior color or clear juices; verify the center with a thermometer.
- Refrigerate cooked leftovers promptly and use within 3 to 4 days.
- Nutrition is an estimate per serving of 2 pork sausages. Brand, size, and meat blend can change the values substantially; check the package for the most accurate information.
