Equipment

An Air Fryer– A 5.8L Cosori air fryer was used for this recipe.

Diet Adaptions

Step by Step Instructions

cooking breakfast sausage in an air fryer steps

Our sausage patties in air fryer recipe is one of the easiest you will find for breakfast anywhere! You are going to simply cook, flip, and finish.

Air Fryer Sausage Temp

Preheat the air fryer to 370F for 5 minutes. While most air fryers do have a preheat option, if your model does not you can easily preheat your air fryer by turning the unit to 370F and allowing it to run empty for 5 minutes.

Air Fryer Sausage Cooking Time

In a single layer, place the sausage patties in the air fryer leaving space on all sides.

Air fry the breakfast sausage patties for a total of 8 minutes, flipping them half-way through cooking. Be sure your sausage patties reach an internal temperature of at least 160F prior to serving.

Serve warm with your favorite breakfast items like waffles or eggs! Enjoy!

Recipe Tips

  • To ensure your air fryer sausage patties cook in the time allotted, be sure you preheat your air fryer.
  • You do not need to add extra oil or cooking spray to the air fryer basket since sausage is a higher fat food.
  • We do recommend you leave space between your sausage patties. This allows for proper air circulation and cooking time.
  • This sausage patties in air fryer recipe is based on using thawed sausage patties but we do have instructions for cooking frozen sausage patties in air fryer below.

Sausage Patties in Air Fryer

Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 15 minutes

Cooking breakfast sausage patties in an air fryer is a quick and easy way to get breakfast on the table in the morning! Cook just a couple or the whole pack.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb sausage patties

Instructions

  1. Preheat air fryer to 370F for 5 minutes
  2. In a single layer, place the sausage patties in the air fryer leaving space on all sides.
  3. Air fry the breakfast sausage patties for a total of 8 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches at least 160F. Flip them over half-way through cooking.
  4. Serve warm with your favorite breakfast items like waffles or eggs! Enjoy!

Notes

Preheat the air fryer before cooking the sausage patties to get consistent cooking results.

We used Johnsonville traditional sausage patties for the recipe, any brand or any flavor of Johnsonville breakfast sausage like maple-flavored will work for this recipe.

You do not need to add extra oil or cooking spray to the air fryer basket since sausage is a higher fat food.

The recipe will be similar whether you are using a basket style air fryer or an air fryer oven.

Some air fryer models cook hotter or quicker than others, if this is the first time making sausage patties in an air fryer, check for doneness a couple of minutes before the cook time states to make sure your unit isn't cooking faster.

The internal temperature of the sausage should be 160F, we suggest checking doneness by using a digital cooking thermometer.
