Equipment

  • 1 air fryer
  • 1 piece of perforated parchment paper (optional)
  • 1 set of tongs

Ingredients
  

  • 1 package uncooked Italian sausage links 4-5 sausage links

Instructions
 

  • Take your Italian sausage out of the fridge and put them in the air fryer. Make sure you make a single, even layer. You’ll want space in between each sausage link so that the hot air can evenly circulate and cook the sausages.
  • Preheat your air fryer to 360°F for 10 minutes and then hit the“Start” button.
  • After 5 minutes, hit the “Pause” button and flip over the Italian sausages so the other side can cook. This ensures that the Italian sausage is cooked evenly through.
  • Cook for the remaining 5 minutes. After it’s done cooking, check the sausages with a meat thermometer. It should be between 155°F to 165°F.
  • Let it cool for 2-5 minutes, and then serve. You can eat them by themselves or serve them with your favorite pasta dishes, salads, or soups.

Notes

Keep in Mind:
  • You may need to adjust the cooking time depending on the air fryer you have. Different brands and models might produce different results.
  • Different brands of Italian sausages will require slightly different cook times. Thicker sausage links will require more time, skinnier links will require less time.
  • If you like really crispy skins, then I suggest increasing the temperature to 370 degrees and cooking for 4 minutes on each side.
