• Do not stack or overlap—leave space for air to circulate

• No oil or spray needed

Step 3: Air Fry to Perfection

• Cook at 370°F for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway through

• Sausages should be browned and slightly crispy on the outside

• Internal temperature should reach 160°F (71°C) for pork sausages, 165°F (74°C) for chicken or turkey varieties

Step 4: Cool Slightly & Serve

Let rest for 1–2 minutes before slicing or serving.

Pro Tips for the Best Results

Flip or Shake Midway for Even Cooking

Flipping helps both sides brown nicely.

Use a Thermometer for Safe Doneness

Always check the thickest part of the sausage to ensure it’s fully cooked.

Leave Space Between Sausages

Better air circulation means crispier, evenly cooked sausages.

Pat Lightly With Paper Towels (Optional)

If desired, dab with paper towels to remove any surface grease after cooking.
