Make juicy, crispy-skinned brats in the air fryer with this quick Air Fryer Brats tutorial. It takes less than 20 minutes and pairs well with air fryer vegetables like my air fryer roasted broccoli or air fryer brussels sprouts. Alternatively, you could add these to my keto gravy and cauliflower mash for an easy low-carb comfort food meal.

Why Make This:

  • No-fuss: simply cook the bratswurst sausages until they are browned
  • Quick meal starter: use this as the main protein for any meal since it goes with an endless amount of side dishes

Ingredients Needed:

raw, uncooked bratwurst sausage
  • Bratwurst Sausage: I’m using the raw and uncooked kind that you can pick up from the meat department.
  • Avocado Oil Spray: this is completely optional and helps with browning

How to Make Brats in the Air Fryer

  1. Add the brats to your air fryer in an even layer
  2. Cook until the sausages are browned and 160 degrees internally

Recipes to Enjoy this with:

The possibilities for making a meal with these are endless. Here are a few low-carb ideas:

  • Cauliflower Mash and Gravy
  • Air Fryer Green Beans
  • Air Fryer Brussels Sprouts
  • Cauliflower Cheese Grits

Top Cooking Tips & FAQs:

How long do you have to cook brats in an air fryer?

In my air fryer, the sausages were cooked within 14 minutes (7 minutes per side). However, adding 1-2 additional minutes per side helped them to have extra browned skin.

Do you need to flip the sausages?

Flipping the sausage helps them to brown evenly. However, you don’t need to flip them since the air fryer circulates the heat around the complete sausage.

Should you spray the sausages?

I tried this recipe by spraying the sausages with avocado oil before cooking them. I’ve found that it helps the sausages brown quicker. But, It’s not necessary since the fats in the sausage tend to bubble up and encourage browning without any extra oils anyway.
