💭 Tips & Notes

- If you like your sausage crispy then preheating the air fryer will yield the best results.

- To store: Leftover sausage links can be kept in the fridge for up to 4 days in an airtight container.
- To reheat: To reheat leftovers, just pop them back in the air fryer at 350°F (180°C) for 4-5 minutes.
❓ Are Air Fried Sausages Healthier?
Using the air fryer to cook your sausage links is one of the healthiest ways to prepare them! There is no added fat or grease and therefore (slightly) fewer calories.
❓ What Temperature Do I Cook Sausage Links In The Air Fryer?
Cook your sausages at 370°F (185°C) for 12 total minutes, flipping halfway, for frozen links. If the sausage links are not frozen, cook them at the same temperature for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway.
