Here’s a simple recipe for making breakfast sausage in the air fryer:
Ingredients:
- 8 breakfast sausage links (pork, turkey, or chicken)
- Optional: a bit of cooking spray for extra crispiness
Instructions:
- Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Preheating helps ensure even cooking.
- Place the sausage links in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they aren’t touching. If your air fryer is smaller, cook in batches.
- Cook for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through. The sausages should be browned on the outside and reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) for pork or 165°F (74°C) for chicken or turkey.
- Optional step for extra crispiness: Lightly spray the sausages with cooking spray before the last 2-3 minutes of cooking.
- Remove and serve hot. Pair with eggs, toast, or a healthy side like avocado or sautéed vegetables.
Tips:
- If using homemade sausage patties, flatten them slightly for even cooking.
- For pre-cooked sausage links, reduce the cooking time to about 6-8 minutes.
