Preparation

  • Preheat the air fryer to 350 °F (175 °C) for 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Place the sausages in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving space between each to allow air to circulate well. Do not pierce or cut the sausages.
  • Cook 15 to 20 minutes depending on size, turning the sausages once at mid-cooking for even browning.
  • To add vegetables, mix them with a drizzle of olive oil, salt and pepper. Place them around the sausages in the basket from the beginning of cooking or after 5 minutes for more tender vegetables like peppers.
  • Check doneness with a thermometer. Internal temperature must reach 71 °C (160 °F). Sausages should be well browned and crispy on the outside.
  • Let rest 2 to 3 minutes before serving. Recover the fat rendered in the bottom of the basket to drizzle over your vegetables. It’s liquid gold.
