OR

Non-stick spray (only if your air fryer requires)
Optional: black pepper, maple syrup for serving
Instructions
1. Preheat the air fryer to 390°F (200°C) for 3-5 minutes.
2. Place sausage links or patties in a single layer in the air fryer basket or tray; do not overcrowd.
3. Cook fresh sausage links or patties for 10 minutes, flipping halfway through.
4. Cook frozen sausage links or patties for 12-14 minutes, flipping halfway through.
5. Check internal temperature with a digital thermometer; it should read 160°F (71°C).
6. If desired, add 1-2 minutes for extra crispiness. Let rest 1-2 minutes before serving.
Notes
Cooking times vary by air fryer model and sausage thickness—use an instant-read thermometer to confirm doneness.
For juicier sausages, avoid overcooking; for crispier texture, add 1–2 minutes at the end.
Clean the air fryer tray after use to prevent smoking from rendered fat.
