Air Fryer Brats Recipe

Ingredients :

• 1 pkg uncooked brats
• optional – peppers and onions, beer

Instructions :

Preheat the air fryer for 5 minutes at 360 F.

Place the bratwurst in the air fryer basket, making sure to spread them out.

Cook the sausage until the internal temperature reaches at least 160 F, in a Cosori air fryer, which will take 11-15 minutes to cook. Feel free to cook them longer to get them browned to your liking, brats stay juicy up until an internal temperature of 190 F.

Since brats are a quick-cooking recipe, there’s no need to flip them over but you can if you prefer.

Adding peppers and onions (optional)

Slice 1 bell pepper and half of an onion. Mix them in a medium-size bowl with 1 Tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp ground black pepper.

Add the bratwurst, peppers, and onions to the air fryer spreading the veggies around the sausages. Continue with the remaining recipe steps above.

Notes

If you don’t preheat the air fryer, they’ll take a little longer to cook.

Cooking times can vary based on the air fryer model you have. We recommend using a digital meat thermometer to test for doneness.

Bratwurst are considered done when the internal temperature reaches 160 F, however, the sausage most likely won’t be fully browned on the outside at that point. Due to the high-fat content brats can be cooked up to 190 F and will still be plump and juicy.

Serve the brats German style with potatoes, sauerkraut, mustard, and beer, or go American style on a bun with hot dog toppings, sauerkraut, or bell peppers, and onions.
