This method for cooking Italian sausage in the air fryer is as much a how-to as it is a recipe. You can cook up to 4 sausages at once, and time and temperature will be the same. I like to top mine with giardiniera.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 2 servings servings

  • 2 hot dog buns

  • 2 mild italian sausage links

Directions

  1. Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

  2. Place buns in the fryer basket and cook for 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate.

  3. Place sausage links in the fryer basket and cook for 6 minutes. Using tongs, flip links over and cook until browned, about 4 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Transfer to buns.
