Enjoy juicy Italian sausages cooked to perfection in an air fryer, delivering a crispy exterior and savory flavors without excess oil.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 pound Italian sausage links (mild or spicy) Your choice of flavor
- 1 tablespoon olive oil For coating the sausages
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (like oregano and basil)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for about 5 minutes.
- In a bowl, mix the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian herbs, salt, and black pepper.
- Coat the Italian sausage links in the seasoning mixture evenly.
Cooking
- Place the sausages in the air fryer basket in a single layer without overcrowding.
- Air fry the sausage for 12-15 minutes, turning them halfway through for even cooking.
- Check for doneness; the internal temperature should reach 160°F (71°C).
- Once cooked, remove the sausages from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes.
- Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
For a good crispy texture, ensure to preheat the air fryer and avoid overcrowding the basket. You can serve the sausages sliced on a platter with accompaniments or in rolls. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days, or freeze for longer storage.
