Are Air Fryer Sausage Patties Good?


Absolutely! They're a fantastic way to enjoy the richness of sausage without dealing with excess oil.

Air frying sausage patties not only makes them healthier but also enhances their natural flavors and textures, providing a crispy exterior without drying out the juicy interior.


How Long Do You Put Sausage Patties In The Air Fryer?


To cook sausage patties in an air fryer, the general guideline is to cook them at 400°F for about 8 to 10 minutes.

These timings may vary slightly depending on the thickness of your patties and the specific model of your air fryer, so it's good to keep an eye on them during the cooking process, especially the first time you make them.


Ingredients You'll Need


  • Sausage Meat- You can choose your favorite ground sausage, whether it's spicy, sweet, or mild.
  • Seasonings- A blend of sage, thyme, black pepper, and a pinch of salt enhances the meaty flavor.


How To Make Sausage Patties


  1. Prepare the Patties. Mix the ground sausage with all the seasonings. Form into round, flat shapes that will fit nicely in your air fryer basket.
  2. Preheat the Air Fryer. Set to 400°F to ensure a crispy finish.
  3. Cook. Place the patties in the air fryer basket. Cook for about 10 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure even crispiness.
  4. Serve. Enjoy your sausage patties hot with your favorite breakfast sides like eggs and toast or inside an English muffin for a satisfying sandwich.

Tips And Tricks


Making sausage patties in the air fryer is a quick and convenient way to enjoy a classic breakfast item with less mess and potentially fewer calories than traditional pan-frying. Here are some tips and tricks to help you achieve the best results:


  • Preheat Your Air Fryer. While not all air fryer models require preheating, doing so can help the sausage patties start cooking immediately and ensure even cooking.
  • Avoid Overcrowding. Place the sausage patties in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Overcrowding can lead to uneven cooking and may result in some parts not being as crispy as others. If needed, cook in batches to maintain quality.
  • Flipping Is Key. Halfway through the cooking time, flip the patties to ensure that both sides get nicely browned and crisp.


Variations


Experimenting with different variations of air fryer sausage patties can add an exciting twist to your breakfast routine or meals. Here are some creative ideas to try:


  • Spicy- Mix in red pepper flakes, cayenne pepper, or diced jalapeños into your sausage meat for a kick of heat. You can also blend in some spicy paprika for a smoky flavor.
  • Herb-Infused- Double the finely chopped fresh herbs like sage, thyme, or rosemary to the sausage mix. These herbs complement the savory flavors of sausage beautifully.
  • Cheese- Incorporate grated cheese such as cheddar, mozzarella, or pepper jack directly into the sausage meat before forming the patties. Cheese adds a gooey, melty texture and rich flavor.


What To Eat With Air Fryer Sausage Patties


Air fryer sausage patties are wonderfully versatile and can be paired with a variety of dishes to create a satisfying meal. Here are some delicious options to consider:


  • Classic Breakfast- Serve them with scrambled eggs, hash browns, and toast for a traditional breakfast.
  • Breakfast Sandwiches- Place a sausage patty between toasted English muffins, and add a fried egg and slice of cheese for a quick and hearty breakfast sandwich.
  • Pancakes or Waffles- Complement the savory flavor of the sausage with the sweet taste of pancakes or waffles, drizzled with maple syrup.


How Long Do They Last?


Store leftover sausage patties in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to three days. Reheat in the air fryer for 2-3 minutes for best results.


Can You Freeze Them?


Absolutely! Freeze them in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer bag, squeezing out as much air as possible. They can be cooked straight from frozen in the air fryer for about 12-15 minutes at 400°F.
