Ingredients

Sausage
4 Italian sausage links (sweet or hot)
1 tbsp olive oil
Serving
Hoagie rolls
Sautéed peppers and onions
Marinara sauce
Provolone cheese
Hot giardiniera

Equipment

  • Instant-Read Meat Thermometer

Steps

  1. 1

    Prick each sausage a few times with a fork to prevent bursting.

  2. 2

    Brush lightly with olive oil.

  3. 3

    Air fry at 400°F for 12-14 minutes, turning every 4 minutes, until casings are blistered and internal temp reaches 165°F.

  4. 4

    Rest 3 minutes before serving.

  5. 5

    Serve on hoagie rolls with sautéed peppers, onions, marinara, provolone, and giardiniera.

💡

Tip: Unlike breakfast sausage, Italian sausage benefits from a few pricks — the casings are thicker and can burst dramatically. Turn them often for even browning all around. Hot Italian sausage is the move if you like heat.
