Notes
- Ensure sausages are gluten-free for a gluten-free version.
- Chipolata sausages can be halved to substitute pricier cocktail sausages.
- Quorn cocktail sausages and turkey bacon are lighter alternatives but change texture and flavor.
- Brush with maple syrup before cooking for added sweetness and glaze.
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer to allow proper air circulation and crisping.
- Air fryer cooking times may vary; add 2 minutes if sausages need further cooking.
- For honey and mustard glaze, brush mixture on about 2 minutes before cooking ends.
