Ingredients Needed
- Beyond Sausage links: plant-based sausage, flavorful and ready to cook
- Olive oil: light coating for crisp, golden-brown sausage
- Garlic powder: adds savory depth and mild aromatic flavor
- Paprika: smoky, slightly sweet spice for extra flavor
- Black pepper: freshly ground for a gentle spicy kick
- Salt: enhances overall taste and balances seasonings
How To Make Air Fryer Beyond Sausage
Step One: Set your air fryer to 390°F (200°C) for about 3–5 minutes. A hot start helps the sausages get that perfect golden crust.
Step Two: Lightly brush or spray your Beyond Sausage links with olive oil. This keeps them juicy and gives them a nice sear. Sprinkle a little garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper on each link. Place the sausages in a single layer, leaving some space between them so the air can circulate and crisp everything evenly.
Step Three: Set cook time for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway through. Watch for that beautiful golden brown color and slightly crisp edges. They should feel firm to the touch and have a satisfying sear. If you want a little extra crisp, pop them in for another minute or two.
Step Four: Pile them in a bun, add your favorite toppings, or enjoy as-is. Perfect for a quick lunch, dinner, or game day snack!
Beyond Sausage Air Fryer Recipe Tips
- Don’t overcrowd the basket – give each sausage room so it crisps evenly.
- Flip halfway through – ensures all sides get golden brown and perfectly cooked.
- Lightly oil the sausages – a brush of olive oil helps crisp the exterior.
- Check temperature – Beyond Sausage is best when firm and lightly browned.
- Serve immediately – these sausages are juiciest fresh out of the air fryer.
- Customize seasoning – add smoked paprika, chili powder, or garlic for extra flavor.
- Pair smartly – goes great with buns, sautéed peppers, onions, or a fresh salad.
Storing and Reheating Instructions
- Storing: Let the cooked Beyond Sausages cool completely, then store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. You can also freeze them for up to 2 months for longer storage.
- Reheating: Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 3–5 minutes until warmed through and slightly crispy. Alternatively, you can reheat in a skillet over medium heat for 4–6 minutes, turning occasionally.

I want to thank you so much for the recipes for the Beyond Meat burgers and sausages! Before finding them, I would only make them in the summer on the grill. Now I can enjoy them all year round. I hope at some point you will have a section of vegan recipes. Thank you for the wealth of recipes you offer.
