These Easy Air Fryer Brats can be made from fresh or frozen and have that amazing grilled flavor. You will love these because they cook very quickly! I like to add onions and beer for a little flavor, but feel free to use your own favorite flavors and pairing.

#Bratsgiving is a day devoted to Bratwurst where everyone can celebrate quality sausage and memorable times with family and friends. Here in Kansas City we love our local beers and we love brats too! I paired beer brats with a little drizzle of local craft beef and air-fried onions. This combination is delish!
Give your friends and family the gift of Brats by hosting your own Bratsgiving with Johnsonville brats and sausages.
Place your vote for your favorite chef-inspired recipe here, and Johnsonville will donate $5,000 to the winning chef’s charity of choice. And, send your bratwurst-loving friends and family a unique Bratsgiving e-card!
How to Cook Brats in the Air Fryer
- Place parchment paper on the air fryer basket.
- Add the sausages.
- Air fry!
Air Fryer Temperature
I recommend 360 degrees.
How Long to Cook/Cook Time
I cook mine for 10-12 minutes. You should cook sausage until it reaches an internal temperature of at least 160 degrees. Use a meat thermometer. I use this one from Amazon.
Air Fryer Parchment Paper
Be sure to use parchment paper. I get mine on Amazon. That makes it safe to cook sausage in the air fryer. It soaks up the excess grease and will help keep the air fryer from smoking.
No you can’t use standard parchment paper. The paper needs to be breathable.
Frozen Brats
Frozen brats will still cook pretty fast. Add 2-3 minutes of cook time.

Ingredients
- 5 raw and uncooked brats links
Instructions
- Line the air fryer basket with air fryer parchment paper. Air fryer parchment paper will soak up the grease and prevent the air fryer from smoking. Place the brats on top of the paper. It's ok for the brats to touch.
- Cook for 10-12 minutes on 370 degrees. Ensure the brats reach an internal temperature of 160 degrees. Use a meat thermometer. You can also flip halfway through. I did not.
- Cool before serving.
