Air Fry Breakfast Sausage
Description
This Air Fry Breakfast Sausage recipe covers cooking raw sausage links by preheating the air fryer to 375°F and placing sausages in the basket without overcrowding. Cooking for 10 minutes with a flip or shake halfway ensures even browning. For sausage patties, the air fryer temperature is set to 400°F, cooking for about 8 minutes total with flipping halfway, checked with a thermometer for an internal temperature of 160°F.
Frozen sausages, both links and patties, can be cooked directly in the air fryer at 400°F, with varying cook times between 8 to 12 minutes and shaking or flipping to promote even heat. Reheating precooked sausage is done at 375°F for 3 to 5 minutes until sizzling.
The sausages can be stored safely in the refrigerator for about five days or frozen for up to two months after cooking. The recipe emphasizes using single layers and optionally air fryer parchment paper to reduce mess and ensure proper air circulation.
Ingredients
