Cooking sausage in the air fryer is a quick and convenient way to achieve a delicious result with a crispy exterior. Here’s a simple guide on how to do it:
Ingredients:
- Sausages of your choice
Instructions:
- Preheat the Air Fryer:
- Preheat your air fryer to around 375°F (190°C). This usually takes about 3-5 minutes.
- Prick the Sausages (Optional):
- Pricking the sausages with a fork can help prevent them from bursting during cooking, especially if they are thick. However, it’s not necessary for all types of sausages.
- Arrange in the Air Fryer Basket:
- Place the sausages in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Make sure they are not overcrowded to allow for proper air circulation.
- Cooking Time:
- Cook the sausages for approximately 12-15 minutes, turning them halfway through the cooking time. The exact time may vary depending on the size and type of sausages you are using.
- Check for Doneness:
- Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the sausages. Pork sausages are generally safe to eat when their internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C), while chicken or turkey sausages should reach 165°F (74°C).
- Adjust Cooking Time:
- If the sausages need more time, you can continue cooking in 2-3 minute increments until they reach the desired doneness.
- Serve:
- Once the sausages are cooked to perfection, remove them from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Remember, cooking times may vary depending on the specific air fryer model and the type of sausages you’re using, so it’s a good idea to refer to your air fryer’s manual for any specific guidelines. Enjoy your air-fried sausages!
