Instructions

Preheat the air fryer by running it at 390°F (200°C) (thin sausages) or 360°F (180°C) (thick sausages) for 5 minutes. Then add water to the bottom of the air fryer basket to avoid excessive smoking.
Place sausages in the air fryer basket and air fry at 390°F (200°C) (thin sausages) for 4-6 minutes or 360°F (180°C) (thick sausages) for 6-8 minutes, turning them once halfway.

Frozen sausages? Don't defrost them, just add a few minutes to the cook time.
Don't overcrowd your air fryer basket - make sure you have some air left between the sausages
Use a meat thermometer to make sure they are done. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
Storing: Store leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
Reheating: Cut in pieces and reheat in air fryer or stove top until heated through.
