Equipment
- Air Fryer
- Toothpicks
- Tongs
Ingredients
- 8 slices bacon thick cut
- 8 tablespoon brown sugar optional
- 16 pork breakfast sausage links
- toothpicks, soaked in water
Instructions
- Preheat air fryer to 400F.
- Slice bacon in half. Rub 1 ½ teaspoons brown sugar on each piece of bacon.
- Secure a strip of bacon with a toothpick on one end of a link, then wrap around and secure the other side (note: be mindful they need to go into the air fryer in a single layer).
- Repeat with all sausage links.
- Lightly coat the air-fryer basket with non-stick cooking spray or olive oil. Working in batches, depending on the size of your air fryer, and without overcrowding place sausages in the air fryer basket and cook for about 10 minutes. Flip halfway for a more even crispy bacon on all sides.
- If desired, drizzle with maple syrup or dip in your favorite BBQ sauce for additional great flavor.
Notes
- Thick cut bacon holds its shape better and doesn’t overcook before the sausage is done. If you need to use regular bacon cook for a little less time.
- Air needs to circulate for even crisping, so work in batches.
- Soak the toothpicks for at least 10 minutes, this prevents them from burning in the air fryer.
- For even browning and a crisper bite on all sides.
- Drizzle or dip in maple syrup just before serving for a restaurant-style touch if desired.
