Cooking Tips

Here are a few tips and tricks to keep in mind so your air fried sausage patties turn out as delicious as possible!

Cook a Single Layer at a Time: Again, air flow is crucial for air fried foods to cook through properly. Only cook a single layer at a time with plenty of space in between each patty. Patties stacked on top of each other may remain frozen or undercooked.
Easy Cleanup: Try using air fryer liners! They’re so convenient! You can just throw them away when you’re done cooking your sausage patties, without having to scrub away oil and grime.

Storing Leftover Patties

If you have leftover sausage patties, keep them in the fridge in an airtight container. They will stay good for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave, in a skillet over medium heat, or the air fryer for a few minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
