Ingredients
  

Sausages
  • 4 Italian sausages or any variety: pork, turkey, or chicken
Optional Seasonings
  • Italian herbs for added flavor
  • Chili flakes if you like a kick

Equipment

  • Air Fryer

Method
 

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Place sausages in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Do not overcrowd.
  3. Cook for 10–14 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking time.
  4. For crispier sausages, increase heat to 400°F for the final 2 minutes.
  5. Let sausages rest for 1–2 minutes before serving.

Notes

Do not pierce the sausages before cooking to retain moisture. Try with different sausage varieties like turkey for a healthier option. Batch cook for the week and reheat in the air fryer for 3–4 minutes.
