  1. 01Place the sausages in a single layer in the basket.
  2. 02No oil needed. Most plant-based sausages have oil in the ingredients.
  3. 03No poking needed (unlike pork sausages, these don't have a casing that traps steam).
  4. 04Ready for the air fryer.
Different brands behave differently. Beyond sausages brown and sizzle like pork. Field Roast sausages stay firmer and don't brown as much. Tofurky can dry out faster. Check the time on the food page and adjust based on your brand.
