Method
- 1
Place sausage links in a single layer in the air fryer basket. No need to thaw if frozen.
- 2
Spray lightly with cooking spray.
- 3
Air fry at 370°F for 8-10 minutes (10-12 if frozen), turning halfway through.
- 4
Sausages are done when browned and internal temp reaches 160°F.
- 5
Serve with eggs, toast, and fresh fruit.
Pro tip. No oil needed in the pan — sausages have plenty of their own fat. Don't prick the casings or all the juicy goodness runs out. They shrink a bit, so you can fit more than you'd think. Shake the basket instead of flipping individually.
Why the air fryer wins here
- Ready in 10 minutes. The same dish takes about 16 in a conventional oven, plus preheating.
- Fast-moving hot air browns the outside before the inside dries out, so you get color without babysitting.
- Cleanup is a basket, not a sheet pan and a splattered stovetop.
Storing and reheating
Refrigerate perishable leftovers within 2 hours, or within 1 hour above 90°F. Reheat leftovers to 165°F (74°C) throughout, measured with a food thermometer. USDA leftover safety guidance.
Keep leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. To bring them back, air fry at 325°F for 3-4 minutes. Prick the casing once so it doesn't split. Full reheat guide for sausage.
