Ingredients
Steps
- 1
Poke each bratwurst 2-3 times with a fork to prevent bursting.
- 2
Air fry at 375°F for 12-15 minutes for fresh brats (8-10 for pre-cooked), turning halfway.
- 3
Brats are done when the skin is blistered and browned and internal temp reaches 160°F.
- 4
Toast buns in the air fryer for 1 minute.
- 5
Load into buns with mustard, sauerkraut, onions, and your favorite toppings.
Tip: Fresh brats need the full cook time; pre-cooked just need to heat through and crisp. Poking holes prevents them from splitting. For beer brats, simmer in beer and onions first, then air fry for the crispy finish.
Why Air Fry This?
- ⏱️Ready in 15 minutes vs ~27 in a conventional oven — no preheating needed.
- 🍖Circulating hot air renders fat and seals in juices for a crispier outside and tender inside.
- ⚡Uses significantly less energy than heating a full-size oven for a single batch.
