Elevate your meals: how to cook incredible sausage in a power xl air fryer

Are you ready to revolutionize your sausage cooking experience? With the Power XL Air Fryer, you can savor perfectly cooked, juicy sausages that are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Follow this comprehensive guide to master the art of air frying sausage and elevate your meals to new heights.

Ingredients You’ll Need:

• 1 pound fresh or frozen sausage links
• Olive oil (optional)
• Your favorite seasonings (optional)

Step 1: Prepare the Sausage

• If using frozen sausage, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight or in the microwave on the defrost setting.
• Pat dry the sausage links with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.

Step 2: Season the Sausage (Optional)

• If desired, season the sausage links with your favorite spices, such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, or paprika.

Step 3: Preheat the Air Fryer

• Plug in your Power XL Air Fryer and set the temperature to 390°F (200°C).
• Preheat the air fryer for 5 minutes.

Step 4: Add the Sausage

• Carefully place the sausage links in the air fryer basket, ensuring there is enough space between them for air circulation.
• If desired, drizzle a small amount of olive oil over the sausage links to promote browning.

Step 5: Cook the Sausage

• Cook the sausage links for 10-12 minutes, or until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
• Shake the basket halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.

Step 6: Check for Doneness

• Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the sausage. When it reaches 160°F (71°C), it is fully cooked.
• If the sausage is not cooked through, continue cooking in 1-minute intervals until it reaches the desired temperature.

Step 7: Let It Rest

• Once the sausage is cooked, remove it from the air fryer and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute, resulting in more tender and flavorful sausage.

Tips for Perfect Air Fryer Sausage:

• Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket.
• Cook the sausage in batches if necessary to ensure even cooking.
• Use a high smoke point oil, such as avocado or grapeseed oil, to prevent burning.
• If your air fryer has a rotisserie function, you can cook the sausage on skewers for a more evenly browned result.
• Experiment with different seasonings to create your own unique flavor combinations.

Creative Sausage Recipes:

• Sausage and Peppers: Serve air-fried sausage with sautéed peppers and onions for a classic Italian dish.
• Sausage and Potatoes: Air fry sausage with diced potatoes for a hearty and satisfying breakfast or dinner.
