Begin by taking your smoked sausage links, removing any casing if applicable. Pat them dry to ensure maximum crispiness while cooking. This prep step is all about enhancing the texture and elevating flavors.

Next, in a mixing bowl, toss the sausages with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and black pepper. This blend not only adds a kick of flavor but also enhances the smokiness of the sausage itself. Ensure they are well-coated!

After seasoning, preheat your air fryer to 350°F. This step guarantees even cooking and crispy outcomes, which is essential for achieving that ideal bite.

Once preheated, place the seasoned sausage links carefully in the air fryer basket. Make sure they are spaced out evenly to allow hot air to circulate around each link. Avoid crowding them; crispy is the goal!

Now, air fry the sausages at 350°F for about 6 minutes. It’s amazing how quickly these links cook, and you can already start to smell that enticing fragrance wafting from the air fryer. Halfway through, give them a shake in the basket to promote even cooking.

Once the timer goes off, use tongs to remove the sausages from the fryer. Feel free to sprinkle chopped fresh parsley on top for an added pop of color and freshness. Then, dig in and enjoy your delicious air fryer smoked sausage!
