The cooking time for sausages depends on their size and thickness: thinner sausages cook in 8β10 minutes, while thicker ones take 9β12 minutes. The optimal cooking temperature is 400Β°F (204Β°C), perfect for achieving a crispy exterior while keeping the inside juicy.
How Long to Cook Sausages in Air Fryer?
The size and thickness of sausages are key factors in determining the ideal cooking time. It makes sense, right? A small, thin breakfast sausage cooks much faster than a large bratwurst. So, here’s a quick overview to ensure you’re doing it right:
| Thinner Sausages (e.g., breakfast sausages) | Thicker Sausages (e.g., bratwursts or Italian sausages) |
| Cooking time: 8β10 minutes These small sausages cook quickly and become crisp outside in no time. | Cooking time: 9β12 minutes These take a little longer to cook but you’ll get browned, crispy skin with a juicy, flavorful interior. |
This method works for all types of sausages β bratwursts, breakfast links, patties, and more. Just be sure to adjust the cooking time based on size.

The Right Temperature for Sausages
If you’re wondering what temperature to set your air fryer to, let me get straight to the point: 400Β°F (204Β°C). This higher temperature ensures the sausages get a nice crispy brown exterior while staying juicy inside. Plus, the higher heat speeds up cooking, reducing the risk of drying out.

Why Cook in an Air Fryer?
I love using the air fryer to prepare our meals meat, especially when I need my hands free for other tasks. In the air fryer, sausages cook evenly all around with zero effort on your part. The result? Perfectly browned and juicy sausages! No more worrying about undercooked or burnt sausages!
Expert Tips
- Slicing: When slicing, stabilize the sausage with a fork and use a sharp knife to cut to your desired thickness.
- Determine Thickness: The sausages I used were around 1.5 inches thick. If yours are thinner, reduce the cooking time by a minute or two.
- Extra Crispy Sausages: For ultra-crispy sausages, cook at 400Β°F (204Β°C) for 10 minutes, flipping the sausages halfway through.
