Ingredients

5 uncooked Italian sausage mild, sweet, or hot

Instructions

Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 5 minutes.
Pat the sausages dry with a paper towel and pierce each a few times with a fork to allow steam to escape.
Brush the sausages with olive oil on all sides.
Place the sausages in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
Cook the sausages for 12-15 minutes, flipping them halfway through cooking time. Once internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C), they are done. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature.
Remove sausages from the air fryer. Let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with green salad and rice.

Notes

Substitute chicken or turkey sausage if desired.
I recommend using a food thermometer for this recipe.
Rest time is important and will make your sausages extra juicy!
To Store: Refrigerate for 3 to 4 days in an airtight container.
To Freeze: Transfer cooked sausage to an airtight freezer-safe container or Ziploc bag and store frozen for up to 3 months.
To Reheat: Pop sausages back in the air fryer at 300°F (148°C) or microwave on high until warmed through. You can also use the oven, toaster oven or a skillet on the stovetop.
