Equipment

Ingredients

  • 5 brats 1 package
  • 5 hot dog buns
  • sauerkraut - optional

Instructions

  • Add brats to the Air Fryer making sure to leave room between each brat for the air to circulate.
  • Cook at 400 degrees F for 8 minutes, turning them over half way through. They should be a golden brown and 165 degrees.

Notes

  • All air fryers are a bit different. Cooking times may vary slightly, if you know your air fryer tends to run a little cold or a bit hot try to factor that into the recipe. It may take a time or two to find the perfect time.
  • Brats should have an internal temperature of 165 degrees to be safe to eat. It is okay for there to be a slight pink inside as long as they are up to the correct temperature. They should be a light golden brown when done.  If they are leathery and wrinkled then they are overcooked.
  • No pre-heating is necessary in this recipe, which is great because there's no extra time waiting for it to get hot!
  • I wouldn't recommend making these in advance. Brats are best when they're still hot and juicy, so try to make these as close to when you'll eat them as possible.
