Ingredients
  

  • 5 3.8-oz Bratwurst
  • Air fryer basket
  • Optional: Serving buns and toppings
  • Olive oil spray (optional, for extra crisp)
  • Tongs for turning
  • Instant-read thermometer

Method
 

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 370°F (188°C) for 3-5 minutes.
  2. Lightly spray brats with olive oil, if desired. Arrange brats in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they don't touch.
  3. Cook for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through using tongs.
  4. Check internal temperature with an instant-read thermometer, ensuring it reaches at least 160°F (71°C).
  5. Carefully remove cooked brats from the air fryer basket using tongs.
  6. Serve immediately on buns with desired toppings.

Notes

- Always preheat your air fryer for optimal crispiness.
- Do not overcrowd the basket; cook in batches if necessary.
- Flip halfway through to ensure even cooking and browning.
- Use an instant-read thermometer to confirm safe internal temperature.
