How to cook brats in air fryer

Now I’ll walk you through it…

1. Preheat the air fryer to 375 degrees F for 5 minutes.
2. Prep beer brats for air fryer. Pierce brats with a fork to let the steam escape the casing as they cook.
3. Add brats to the air fryer basket and air fry brats at 375 degrees for 7 minutes. Flip and air fry them for an additional 5-7 minutes, until browned to your desired level of crispness on the outside. The USDA says bratwurst is done cooking when it reaches an internal temperature of 160 degrees F.
4. Transfer air fried brats to a cutting board and let cool for 5-10 minutes until they’re cool enough to eat.

FAQs

How many brats can you air fry at a time?

As many as you can fit in a single layer with room in between them.

What’s the done temperature for beer brats?

160 degrees F is the done temperature according to the USDA.

How long does it take to cook frozen brats in an air fryer?

The cooking time will be closer to 15-16 minutes when you cook bratwurst from frozen in the air fryer machine. In addition to adding 3-5 minutes to the cook time, always cook beer brats until the reach an internal temp of 160 degrees F as measured by an internal read thermometer.

Do you need to air fry them on parchment paper?

No, I find they do not stick to my nonstick air fryer basket.
