Ingredients

• 1 package Al Fresco Roasted Pepper & Asiago Chicken Sausage (fresh or frozen)

Optional:

• Sandwich buns or hoagie rolls

• Pesto, garlic aioli, or balsamic glaze

• Roasted zucchini, spinach, or grilled onions

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Air Fryer

Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3–4 minutes.

Step 2: Prepare the Sausages

• Remove sausages from packaging.

• If frozen, separate gently—no need to thaw.

• Arrange in a single layer in the air fryer basket or tray with space between each sausage.

Step 3: Air Fry to Perfection

• Cook at 375°F for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway through.

• For frozen sausages, cook for 10–12 minutes, flipping after 6 minutes.

• Sausages are done when the outside is browned and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 4: Rest & Serve

Let sausages rest for 2–3 minutes before slicing or serving to allow the cheese and juices to settle.

Pro Tips for the Best Results

Use a Meat Thermometer

Even though they’re fully cooked, sausages should reach 165°F for ideal reheating.

Flip Halfway

Turning helps evenly brown and crisp both sides.

Don’t Overcrowd

Give each sausage space to cook evenly—cook in batches if needed.

Cook Whole, Then Slice

Keep sausages intact while cooking to keep the Asiago cheese sealed inside.
