Ingredients

• 1 package Bob Evans Brown Sugar & Honey Sausage Links (fresh or frozen, fully cooked)

Optional:

• Pancakes, waffles, or French toast

• Scrambled eggs, hash browns, or fruit

• Maple syrup or hot honey for dipping or drizzling

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Air Fryer

Preheat your air fryer to 370°F (188°C) for 3–4 minutes.

Step 2: Prepare the Sausage Links

• Remove links from packaging.

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

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

Step 3: Air Fry to Perfection

• Cook at 370°F for 7–9 minutes, flipping halfway through.

• For frozen links, cook 9–11 minutes, flipping after 5–6 minutes.

• Sausages are done when lightly browned and heated through. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).

Step 4: Rest & Serve

Let sausages rest for 2 minutes before serving to allow juices and sugars to settle.

Pro Tips for the Best Results

Flip for Even Browning

Flipping ensures even caramelization of the brown sugar and honey coating.

Use a Thermometer

Even though they’re fully cooked, verify internal temp reaches 165°F for best results.

Watch the Final Minute

Sugary coatings can brown quickly—check during the last 1–2 minutes to avoid over-caramelizing.

Don’t Overcrowd the Basket

Give each link space so they crisp properly and don’t steam.
