Ingredients Needed
This ingredient list is as simple as it gets. A bag of frozen sausage patties and your cooking spray of choice is all you need!
- Frozen Sausage Patties: You can usually cook about 6-8 at a time, depending on how big your air fryer is. Just make sure there’s plenty of room in between them, air fryers need plenty of air flow to cook properly.
- Non-Stick Cooking Spray: This will give your patties a slightly crispy crust. Yum!

Cooking Tips
Here are a few tips and tricks to keep in mind so your air fried sausage patties turn out as delicious as possible!
- Cook a Single Layer at a Time: Again, air flow is crucial for air fried foods to cook through properly. Only cook a single layer at a time with plenty of space in between each patty. Patties stacked on top of each other may remain frozen or undercooked.
- Easy Cleanup: Try using air fryer liners! They’re so convenient! You can just throw them away when you’re done cooking your sausage patties, without having to scrub away oil and grime.
Storing Leftover Patties
If you have leftover sausage patties, keep them in the fridge in an airtight container. They will stay good for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave, in a skillet over medium heat, or the air fryer for a few minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
