Easy Air Fryer Bratwurst (Brats) - Keto
Description
Bratwurst are placed on a bed of chopped colorful bell peppers and onions in an air fryer basket preheated to 390°F. The air fryer quickly roasts the sausages while softening and lightly crisping the vegetables beneath. The brats reach a juicy texture with a browned exterior, while the peppers and onions add sweet and savory notes with some crisp edges.
This dish can serve as a quick main course, easily paired with mustard or sauerkraut, or used as a protein-vegetable side for other meals. The lack of added oil keeps it lighter, relying on the air fryer’s heat circulation.
Adjust pepper sizes for desired crispiness; smaller slices get more crisp. Cooking times may vary depending on air fryer models, so checking for an internal bratwurst temperature of 160°F is recommended. Leftovers store well refrigerated for up to three days.
