Tips & Tricks
- For best results, always preheat the air fryer to the correct temperature. The initial burst of heat surrounding the food makes the outside nice and crispy!
- Don’t overcrowd the air fryer. If cooking large batches, cook a few at a time. Once they are all cooked add them back to the air fryer and reheat for a few minutes.
- Cut evenly to ensure they are all cooked at the same time.
- Appliances can vary, check the sausage a couple of minutes early so they don’t burn.
- If cooking from frozen, add a little extra cooking time.
