Notes
- Bratwurst: If possible, start with raw bratwurst rather than pre-cooked ones for the best flavor and texture. (But there's nothing wrong with grabbing a pack of Johnsonville brats!) To channel your inner Wisconsinite, order authentic brats online from Glenn’s Market or Usinger’s.
- Storage: Refrigerate any extra brats in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Leftovers can be reheated in the air fryer for 5 minutes, or until they reach 165 degrees.
