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.
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, or until the internal temperature reaches at least 160F. Flip them over halfway through cooking.
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.
