Ingredients

12 sausage links

Instructions

Preheat the air fryer to 375–400°F for 3–5 minutes.
Arrange the sausage links in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving small gaps between each sausage.
Cook the sausage links for 7–12 minutes depending on the size and type of sausage.
Flip the sausage links halfway through cooking to help both sides brown evenly.
Check that the sausage links are fully cooked with a browned casing and safe internal temperature.
Let the sausage links rest for 1–2 minutes before serving.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket or the sausage links may cook unevenly. Turn halfway through cooking for the best crisp texture. Frozen sausage links may require 3–5 additional minutes. Always check the internal temperature before serving. Let the sausage links rest for 1–2 minutes to keep them juicy.
