Ingredients

• 1 package Al Fresco Spinach & Feta Chicken Sausage (fresh or frozen)

Optional:

• Quinoa, couscous, or orzo

• Tzatziki, hummus, or Greek dressing

• Cucumber, cherry tomatoes, or kalamata olives

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 thawing needed.

• Arrange sausages in a single layer in the air fryer basket or tray, leaving space between them.

Step 3: Air Fry to Perfection

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

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

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

Step 4: Rest & Serve

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

Pro Tips for the Best Results

Use a Thermometer

Even though they’re fully cooked, confirm internal temperature reaches 165°F.

Don’t Overcrowd

Give each sausage space so it crisps evenly—work in batches if needed.

Keep Whole While Cooking

Slicing after cooking helps retain moisture and keeps the feta from leaking.

Watch the Final Minutes

Feta-filled sausages may brown quickly—monitor closely in the last 2 minutes.
