12ouncepackage sausage links (about 17 links), room temperature
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat Your Air Fryer
Turn on your air fryer and preheat it to 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes. This will help ensure even cooking.
Step 2: Arrange in the Air Fryer Basket
Place the uncooked sausages in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Make sure there's some space between each link for proper air circulation and even cooking.
Step 3: Air Fry the Sausage Links
Cook the sausage links in the preheated air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for approximately 8-10 minutes. You will want to shake the basket or the tray about ½ way through cook time.
Keep an eye on them because cooking times may vary depending on the size and thickness of the sausages and air fryer models. The sausage links are ready when they turn golden brown, have crispy skin, and reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C). You can use a meat thermometer to check the temperature if needed.
Step 4: Serve and Enjoy
Once cooked, carefully remove the air fryer breakfast sausage links from the air fryer basket using tongs and transfer them to a serving plate. Serve hot and enjoy your delicious air-fried juicy sausages as a standalone snack, with a hearty breakfast, or as part of your favorite meal!
Notes
Preheat the Air Fryer: Ensure your air fryer is preheated before adding the sausage links. This helps achieve even cooking and crispiness.Avoid Overcrowding: Arrange the sausage links in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving space between each link to allow for proper air circulation.Flip Halfway Through: To ensure even browning, flip the sausage links halfway through the cooking time.
