Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 1

10 breakfast sausages (12 oz package)

Steps:

  • Preheat the air fryer for 5 minutes on 400 F.
  • Lay the breakfast sausage links in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Since the sausage is a high-fat food, you'll want to make sure your fryer is clean on the inside, or else you could end up with the dreaded white smoke problem when the grease hits the bottom of the fryer.
  • Cook the sausage for a total of 8-10 minutes, until they're browned to your liking. We took ours out after 9 minutes.
  • AIR FRYER NOTE: If you have a basket-style air fryer and aren't able to spread out your sausage with breathing room on all sides, then we recommend you flip your sausages after 5 minutes.
  • Enjoy! Makes 10 sausage links.

Tips:

  • Choose the right air fryer: Make sure your air fryer is large enough to fit the number of sausage links you want to cook. A 3.5-quart air fryer can cook up to 6 sausage links, while a 5.5-quart air fryer can cook up to 12 sausage links.
  • Preheat your air fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 5 minutes before adding the sausage links. This will help the sausage links cook evenly.
  • Cook the sausage links in a single layer: Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket. If you are cooking more than 6 sausage links, cook them in batches.
  • Flip the sausage links halfway through cooking: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Cook the sausage links until they are golden brown and crispy: The cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the sausage links. Check the sausage links for doneness by inserting a meat thermometer into the center of a sausage link. The sausage link is cooked when it reaches an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit.

Conclusion:

Air fryer breakfast sausage links are a quick and easy way to get your day started. They are crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. You can serve them with eggs, pancakes, waffles, or toast.
