Ingredients For Air Fryer Sausage Traybake
You don’t need much for an air fryer sausage bake recipe. I use:
Red Onion
Peppers – Your favourite colours.
Courgette
Baby Potatoes
Pork Sausages – Your favourites, or even budget sausages are fine.
Olive Oil – Other cooking oils are fine too, but I don’t recommend low-calorie cooking sprays, which can damage your air fryer. I don’t even use them in a frying pan anymore.
Salt and Black Pepper
Cajun Seasoning
How to Air Fry a Sausage Traybake – Step-by-Step Instructions
Full, easy-to-follow instructions and quantities are available in the recipe card at the bottom of this post.
Step One
Place the onion, courgette, potatoes and peppers in a large mixing bowl. Add any other veggies you might want to use too.
Step Two
Add the oil, cajun seasoning, salt and pepper.
Step Three
Mix well. I use my hands, but you can use a spatula if you are a little less messy!
Step Four
Tip into the air fryer basket.
Step Five
Nestle the sausages on top.
Step Six
Air fry at 200 degrees C for 20 minutes, tossing halfway through, taking care to carefully turn the sausages.
Step Seven
Cook for a few minutes longer, if needed, and serve straight from the basket. The sausages should be over 71 degrees C. I recommend using a food thermometer, but if you don’t have one, make sure you cut a sausage in half to make sure the centre is cooked and piping hot.
Variations
You can change everything when you make an air fryer sausage bake.
Use your favourite sausages, change the veggies to suit your tastes, add some cherry tomatoes for the last five minutes, and experiment with different spices and seasonings.
Some recipes add chicken stock and bake in a tin, but I prefer a drier traybake, adding sauce after if we want to.
Leftovers
Leftover air fryer sausage and vegetables can be reheated in the air fryer (use the reheat setting if you have one) or in the microwave.
How long for will depend on how much you’ve got left, but make sure the sausages are piping hot before serving.
I recommend using a food thermometer to make sure they have reached over 71 degrees C inside.
Storage
Store leftovers in a sealed air-tight fridge tub for up to two days.
FAQ
Yes, you can cook raw sausages in an air fryer.
You should cook sausages for about 15-20 minutes in an air fryer, so they are golden brown and piping hot.
Sausages should be over 71 degrees C. I recommend using a food thermometer.
If it fits, yes. But most air fryers have a crisper tray, which allows the air to circulate around the food. Putting food directly onto this gives better results.
