Frozen Sausage in Air Fryer: Two-Stage Method for 4 Servings

Instructions:

1. Preheat your air fryer to 390°F (200°C) for at least 5 minutes to ensure a scorching start for the casing.
2. Place the 1 lb frozen sausage links into the basket as a single block.
3. Air fry for 3 minutes at 390°F until the exterior frost disappears.
4. Use silicone-tipped tongs to gently separate the links. Do not force them or the casings will tear.
5. Arrange the sausages in a single layer with half an inch of space between them.
6. Apply 1 tsp avocado oil to the surface of the sausages using a brush or by tossing them.
7. Air fry for another 6 minutes until the sizzling sound becomes audible.
8. Shake the basket vigorously or rotate each link 180 degrees.
9. Continue cooking for 3 to 6 more minutes until the skins are dark brown and taut.
10. Check the internal temperature to ensure it reaches 160°F (pork) or 165°F (poultry).
11. Sprinkle with 1 pinch flaky sea salt.
