How to Cook Sausage Patties in the Air Fryer
Skip the stovetop mess! These air fryer sausage patties come out perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside in just minutes. Whether you’re making breakfast for one or meal prepping for the week, this is the easiest and cleanest way to cook sausage patties.
Instructions
- Prepare the sausage patties - Remove the sausage patties from the packaging. Use thawed raw pork, turkey, or chicken sausage patties for best results. Pat the patties dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
- Preheat the air fryer - Set the air fryer temperature to 400°F. Allow it to fully preheat, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add sausage patties - Insert air fryer liner for easier cleanup. Place patties in a single layer in the basket without overcrowding. Leave some space around each patty.
- Air fry patties - Air fry patties for 5-7 minutes at 400°F flipping the patties half way through.
- Check internal temp - Use a meat thermometer to ensure the inside of the patties reaches 160°F minimum.
- Remove and serve - Remove air fryer basket and transfer cooked sausage patties to a paper towel lined plate to absorb extra grease. Let rest for 1-2 minutes before serving warm.
