Prick each sausage a few times with a fork to prevent bursting.
Brush lightly with olive oil.
Air fry at 400°F for 12-14 minutes, turning every 4 minutes, until casings are blistered and internal temp reaches 165°F.
Rest 3 minutes before serving.
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.
