Ingredients
1 package of BetterGoods Gluten-Free Apple & Sage Chicken Sausage Links (frozen)
Cooking spray or parchment liner (to prevent sticking)
1 tsp maple syrup (optional, for added sweetness)
½ tsp black pepper (optional, for extra depth of flavor)
¼ tsp ground cinnamon (optional, to enhance the apple flavor)
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Air Fryer
Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and let it preheat for about 3-5 minutes. Preheating helps achieve an even cook and crispy texture.
Step 2: Prepare the Sausage Links
Remove the frozen sausage links from the packaging and arrange them in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding to ensure even cooking.
Lightly spray with cooking spray to help crisp the edges.
If desired, brush with maple syrup and sprinkle with black pepper and ground cinnamon for extra flavor.
Step 3: Air Fry the Sausage Links
Cook at 375°F for 10-12 minutes, shaking or flipping the links halfway through for even browning.
For extra caramelization, cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
The sausage links should be golden brown and crispy on the outside, while the inside remains juicy and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Step 4: Serve & Enjoy
Transfer the sausage links to a plate and let them rest for a minute before serving.
Serve immediately with pancakes, eggs, toast, or roasted vegetables.

Pro Tips for Best Results
