Cooking Italian sausage in the air fryer is the fastest and easiest way to cook it – and it also happens to be one of the most delicious! The air fryer crisps up the outside, letting the inside sausage meat cook to a juicy, tender perfection!
Italian Sausage in the Air Fryer
Not only is this a great fast low-carb lunch that is one of our favorites, this is an easy dinner that cooks up in under 20 minutes! While it’s cooking you can make your starch and veggies to go alongside it, or just eat them in buns with all the fixings.
How to Cook Italian Sausage in the Air Fryer
It really doesn’t get easier than this!
If you need a model that needs preheating ( not all do!) preheat the air fryfer to 365°F. You don’t want it much hotter than that, or the outside will cook way before the inside does!
Remove the sausages from their packaging and lay in a single layer on the wire baking rack in the air fryer. Leave space between them so that the air can circulate properly.
Cook for 7-8 minutes on one side, then flip and continue to cook until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and they are crispy and bronwed on the outside!
Remove and serve.
