- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your air fryer to 370°F (190°C) while preparing the brats.
- In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, paprika, and salt to create a seasoning blend.
- Pat the bratwursts dry with paper towels, ensuring they are free of moisture.
- Rub the seasoning mixture evenly over each bratwurst.
Cooking
- Place the seasoned brats in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they do not touch.
- Cook the brats for 12-15 minutes, turning them halfway through for even cooking.
- Check for an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) using a meat thermometer.
- Once cooked, remove the brats from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
For a classic touch, serve in toasted buns with mustard and sauerkraut. Add a toppings bar with onions, pickles, jalapeños, or relish. Store leftovers in an airtight container; they can be refrigerated for up to 4 days or frozen for 2 months.
