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.
