Notes
Can you use breakfast sausage that is not frozen?
Yes, just cook for 5 minutes on the first side. Flip them and continue air frying for another 5-6 minutes.
Can you make breakfast sausage patties instead of links?
Yes. Depending on the width of your patties, they should take roughly the same time as the links. 8 minutes for frozen patties and about 6 minutes for thawed patties; then flip and continue air-frying for the same amount of time.
How to Tell When Breakfast Sausage Is Done
Breakfast sausage should reach an internal temperature of 165°F. An instant-read thermometer makes this easy to check.
The outside should be browned and slightly crisp. If you prefer a darker crust, cook the sausage for another minute or two. Air fryers vary slightly, so a quick temperature check ensures the sausage is cooked through.
