Why Make Smoked Sausage in the Air Fryer

Grilled smoked sausage without a grill: the air fryer crisps the sausage on the outside while keeping the meat moist. Cook it longer for the “burnt” texture that you’d get from cooking them on the grill
Quick and easy recipe: making these doesn’t require much. Simply add the sausage to the air fryer and use the tips to make them successfully.

Ingredients Needed

Smoked Sausage: this recipe works with any smoked sausage. I use it for things like andouille sausage, chicken sausage, and kielbasa. You can cut the meat into smaller pieces to serve as appetizers or large portions.
Cooking Oil Spray: I use avocado oil spray because it has a high smoke point, but feel free to use another cooking oil like olive oil cooking spray.

How To Make Smoked Sausage in the Air Fryer

Cut the smoked sausage into your preferred bite-sized pieces (I used 2-in pieces)
Add the smoked sausage pieces to your air fryer basket in a single layer.
Spray the smoked sausage with oil.
Air fry the smoked sausage and 400 degrees for 10 minutes (flip at the halfway point)

Save the sauce for dipping: you could also pair this with your favorite sauce on the side.
Cut the sausage to your preference: these can be served as appetizers or as larger dinner portions of meat.
