These are like breakfast sausages and can be paired with scrambled eggs, omelet, air fryer fries, mashed potatoes, air fryer potato slices and cottage fries.
We also love to use them for homemade McGriddle and in our pork sausage and cheese sliders or the sausage, egg and cheese sliders.
How to store and reheat
Cooked sausages can be kept in the fridge for up to 3 days. Let the sausages cool completely before storing in an airtight container. This is best for sausages cooked from raw. If air frying fully cooked sausages which means you are technically reheating the sausages, I would recommend you reheat the quantity you need at a time.
To reheat simply place on a paper towel lined microwave safe plate and microwave at 20 secs intervals till warmed through.
Air fryer reheating is super easy too. Set temperature to 350°F / 180°C for 3 to 5 mins or till sausages are warmed through.
Air frying Tips
- No need to preheat.
- Cook sausages from frozen, no need to thaw.
- Start at a lower temperature when cooking frozen sausages. This will give the sausages time to defrost and prevent the edges from burning. After the first 5 mins, you can increase the temperature.
- Remember to flip the sausages over at the suggested time in this recipe to ensure even cooking. This won’t be necessary if you are cooking these in thhe Cosori dual blaze air fryer,

I don't have a Cosori air fryer. We use a Ninja Foodi 5-in-1 which has an 8-quart capacity and 1,760 watts. Any suggestions?
Hi Jonathan,
Happy to help. I’ve head the Ninja cooks hotter than most air fryers. I would suggest you cook at 350°F for 4 mins (no preheat) then flip the sausage over , increase temp to 400°F and cook for 3 minutes check it and add more time as needed. Hope this helps.
I followed the directions exactly, and the Bob Evans frozen sausage tasted so much better than when cooked in a skillet.
Hi Elaine,
Happy it worked out for you. Enjoy!
Perfect! So good!
Thank you Paula!
