I am beginning to think there's nothing my air fryer can't cook to glorious perfection. I mean, it can't make everything, but I'll be damned if my air fryer can't outperform my oven and deep fryer for so many recipes!

Sausage is one of those foods that I never really considered making in my air fryer...until now. I usually prepare my sausages on the grill or in my crockpot, but I decided to try them in the air fryer and I am so glad I did.

Sausage links turn out golden on the outside and perfectly cooked and juicy on the inside when they're air-fried. You've got to try it!

HOW TO MAKE SAUSAGE IN THE AIR FRYER

Sausage links are so easy to prepare in your air fryer! All you need to do is place the sausages in your air fryer and cook for 10-12 minutes at 375 degrees, flipping once. It's really that easy! The cook time may vary depending on the thickness of your sausage links.

WHAT KIND OF SAUSAGE CAN YOU AIR FRY?

You can air fry lots of different kinds and styles of sausage. This particular recipe will work for any kind of fresh sausage link. Try making air fryer Italian sausage, air fryer kielbasa, or air fryer bratwurst.

WHAT TO SERVE WITH AIR FRYER SAUSAGE

Sausage that is cooked in the air fryer is delicious served in lots of different ways. Here of some of my favorite ways to enjoy it:

• on a sausage and peppers sandwich
• over rice with peppers and onions
• chunked in an omelet
• sliced on pizza
• simmered in pasta sauce
• in hearty soups
• simply cut up with a fork and knife!

WHAT KIND OF AIR FRYER SHOULD I USE TO COOK SAUSAGE LINKS?

You can prepare sausages in a basket-style or oven-style air fryer. Depending on the design of your air fryer and the type of sausage you use, you may experience some light smoking/excess grease dripping when you cook your sausages.
