Air Fryer Sausage Patties Ingredients

There's many different brands and varieties of sausage patties in the freezer case and meat case at the grocery store. You'll find traditional pork frozen and fresh, as well as vegetarian and turkey or chicken varieties. Use the type you like best, frozen, fresh, or defrosted.

• Sausage patties - Frozen, fresh, pork, chicken, or even vegetarian.
• Oil - Use an oil pump sprayer, not aerosol non stick cooking spray. The aerosol propellants can damage the air fryer heating element.
• Seasonings - Optional, to taste. You can add salt, pepper, or any seasoning you like if you prefer the sausage patties more seasoned. I love sprinkling on a little Cajun seasoning.

Equipment

Equipment can have a big impact on how a recipe turns out. Below are some of my favorite pieces of equipment that I use when air frying sausage patties.

• Nuwave Brio Air Fryer - Rotisserie - Grill - This 15 quart countertop Smart Oven has three slide in trays, that all can be used at the same time. You can air fry rotisserie chickens, an SO mush more!
• Nuwave Air Fryer 15 quart - This large family size basket air fryer has room to air fry enough for a large family!
• Gourmia Digital Air Fryer 6 quart - This basket style air fryer will handle four frozen waffles in the air fryer.
• Ninja Foodie Pro Air Fryer - Folds up out of the way on your counter.
• Nuwave Air Fryer 3 quart - This compact basket air fryer is perfect for singles or a small family of 2 or 3. You can air fry two frozen waffles in 4 minutes.
• Oil Sprayer - This is a perfect sprayer for spritzing a light coating of oil on vegetables, meats, and other prepared frozen foods before air frying. The tiny amount of oil ensures you get as amazing results as deep frying and roasting, with a fraction of the calories and splatter!

Storage and Reheating

Leftover sausage patties can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. They can also be frozen for up to 3 months. To reheat, thaw the sausage patties in the refrigerator overnight and then cook them in the air fryer for a few minutes until heated through.

Tips for Success

• Don't overcrowd the air fryer. If you overcrowd the air fryer, the sausage patties will not cook evenly.
• Flip the sausage patties halfway through cooking. This will help ensure that they cook evenly on both sides.
• If you're using frozen sausage patties, add a few minutes to the cooking time.
