  • 4 links Andouille sausage links Use high-quality smoked Andouille sausage for the best flavor.
Optional accompaniments
  • 2 cups vegetables (e.g., Brussels sprouts, onions) Roasted vegetables complement the sausage well.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the air fryer to 370°F (188°C).

  3. Increase the temperature to 400°F (204°C) for the final minute to achieve a crispy exterior.
  4. If desired, glaze the sausage with maple syrup or honey during the last minute.
