How Long to Cook Smoked Sausage in Air Fryer?
It is very simple to make smoked sausage using an air fryer by slicing it into 1-inch thick slices and adding them to your air fryer basket. The air fryer should be set at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 8 minutes.
To ensure that the best results are achieved, flip your basket halfway through cooking or shake it halfway through cooking. After 8 minutes, your sausage should be cooked through and have that delicious smoky flavor.
If you are using pre-cooked smoked sausage, you can skip the initial cooking step and place it in the air fryer basket for 4 minutes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit. This will ensure that the sausage is heated through and has a slightly crispy texture.
What temperature is Best to air fry sausages?
Air frying sausages is a great way to enjoy a delicious meal without all the added fat and calories of traditional frying. The key to getting the best results is to use the right temperature. We have found that 360 degrees Fahrenheit is the ideal temperature for air-frying sausages. This will ensure that they are cooked through evenly and come out crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside.
If your air fryer only has one temperature setting, usually 400 degrees, you can still use it for cooking sausages. However, you may find that they take a bit longer to cook through than if you used 360 degrees.
Additionally, you may need to adjust your cooking time depending on how thick your sausages are. Regardless of what temperature you choose, keep an eye on them as they cook so that they don’t burn or become overdone.
What Types of Sausage Can You Cook in the Air Fryer?
With the air fryer, you can cook all types of sausages, from raw to pre-cooked, chicken sausage or turkey sausage, kielbasa, beef, or pork sausage. You can mix and match different brands and types for a unique flavor combination.
