Notes

  • Don’t crowd the air fryer basket.
  • Stir halfway through air frying to ensure even cooking.
  • If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
  • Reheat in the air fryer to maintain the crispy texture.
  • Cook time may vary depending on your specific air fryer.
  • Recipe time and temperature is based on a preheated air fryer.
  • If using a toaster oven style air fryer with a tray and not a basket, air fry for 10 minutes, then stir and add the sausage. Continue air frying another 8-10 minutes.
