Equipment

  • Air Fryer or Ninja Foodi

  • Tongs

Ingredients

  • 12 oz fully cooked smoked sausage

Instructions

  • Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3–5 minutes.

  • Using a serrated knife, slice the smoked sausage into ½-inch pieces.

  • Arrange the sausage pieces in the air fryer basket in a single layer.

  • Air fry for 8–10 minutes, shaking the basket or stirring halfway through (around the 4–5 minute mark) to ensure even cooking.
