#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.

How to Cook Brats in the Air Fryer

1. Place parchment paper on the air fryer basket.
2. Add the sausages.
3. 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.

Notes

If you want to cook your brats in onions, I recommend using this air fryer cake pan to hold the onions and brats and cook them both at the same time.

I use about 1/2 cup chopped onions drizzled in 2 tablespoons of beer. Add the onions and beer to the bottom of the air fryer cake pan. Place the brats on top. Air fry according the instructions above.
