Air Fryer

INGREDIENTS

▢ 4 frozen sausages (any variety of your choice)
▢ Cooking spray or oil (optional, for greasing the air fryer basket)
▢ salt and pepper to taste
▢ condiments (ketchup, mustard, hot sauce, etc.)

INSTRUCTIONS

Before you start cooking, preheat your air fryer to around 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes. This step ensures that the sausages cook evenly and achieve the desired texture.
While the air fryer is preheating, take the frozen sausages out of the packaging and arrange them in a single layer on the air fryer basket. Leave some space between each sausage to allow for proper air circulation and even cooking.
If desired, sprinkle your preferred seasonings over the sausages. You can keep it simple with just salt and pepper or experiment with various spices to suit your taste. Feel free to get creative and add additional herbs or spices like garlic powder, paprika, or onion powder.
Set the air fryer to a cooking temperature of 350°F (175°C) and cook the sausages for approximately 12-15 minutes. It's essential to note that cooking times may vary slightly depending on the thickness and type of sausages you're using, so it's recommended to check the manufacturer's instructions for guidance.
Around the halfway mark of the cooking time, carefully remove the basket from the air fryer and shake it or flip the sausages. This step ensures that all sides are evenly cooked and promotes a crispy exterior.
Once the cooking time is complete, check the sausages for doneness. Cut into one sausage to ensure it's cooked thoroughly, with no pink meat remaining in the center. If needed, you can return the sausages to the air fryer for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Remove the sausages from the air fryer and let them rest for a minute before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a moist and flavorful bite. Serve your air fryer frozen sausages hot and garnish with your favorite toppings and condiments like ketchup, mustard, or hot sauce.
