🌭🔥 Italian Sausage in the Air Fryer
6
Ingredients
- 4 Italian sausages, fresh or uncooked
- 1 teaspoon olive oil, optional
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning, optional
- Bell peppers and onions, optional
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3 minutes.
- Place the sausages in the basket in a single layer, leaving space between them.
- Air fry for 10 minutes.
- Flip the sausages and cook for another 5–8 minutes.
- Check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer. Pork sausage should reach 160°F (71°C); poultry sausage should reach 165°F (74°C).
- Let the sausages rest for 2–3 minutes before serving.
🌶️ Add Peppers & Onions
Slice peppers and onions, toss with a little oil and Italian seasoning, and add them to the basket during the last 8–10 minutes of cooking.
⭐ Tips for Perfect Sausage
- Don’t pierce the sausages before cooking—the juices can escape.
- Turn them halfway through for even browning.
- For extra crispy skin, cook for an additional 1–2 minutes after reaching the safe internal temperature.
- Frozen sausages generally need 5–10 extra minutes; check the temperature rather than relying only on time.
Cooking times may vary slightly depending on your air fryer model and sausage thickness.
