Ingredients
Equipment
Steps
- 1
Prick each sausage a few times with a fork to prevent bursting.
- 2
Brush lightly with olive oil.
- 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
Rest 3 minutes before serving.
- 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.
Why Air Fry This?
- ⏱️Ready in 14 minutes vs ~25 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.
