🌭 How to Cook Sausages in the Air Fryer
🍽️ Servings:
As many as you like! Just don’t overcrowd the basket.
⏱️ Time:
Prep: 2 minutes
Cook: 10–15 minutes
✅ What You’ll Need:
Your favourite sausages (pork, chicken, beef, veggie — anything goes)
Optional: a fork to prick them (only if they’re super thick or might burst)
🔥 Cooking Instructions:
1. Preheat (Optional but Helpful)
Set your air fryer to 190°C (375°F) and let it warm up for 2–3 minutes.
2. Add the Sausages
Pop them into the air fryer basket in a single layer.
No need for oil — they’ll cook in their own fats.
3. Cook
Air fry at 190°C (375°F) for:
10–12 minutes for regular sausages
15 minutes for thicker sausages or if they’re very cold
Shake or turn halfway through to get even browning.
Veggie sausages? Cook at a slightly lower temp (180°C / 355°F) for about 8–10 minutes.
4. Check for Doneness
They should be golden brown and cooked through.
If you want to be exact, use a meat thermometer — you’re aiming for 75°C (165°F) in the center for pork/chicken sausages.
🧡 Serving Ideas:
With mash & gravy (classic!)
In a bun with onions and mustard
With air-fried veg or a fried egg for brunch
Chopped into pasta or rice bowls
