Broccoli and Sausage in Air Fryer Recipe Tips
Cut ingredients evenly ✂️ – Slice the sausage and broccoli into uniform pieces so everything cooks at the same rate.
Don’t overcrowd the basket 🧺 – Arrange everything in a single layer for crispier results; cook in batches if needed.
Toss halfway through 🔄 – Shake the basket or stir the mixture halfway to ensure even browning.
Use pre-cooked sausage ⏱ – This cuts down on cook time and ensures juicy, flavorful bites.
Add seasoning last 🧂 – A final sprinkle of salt or Parmesan before serving adds an extra burst of flavor.
Storing
Let the sausage and broccoli cool completely, then transfer to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 3–5 minutes to restore crispiness.

Broccoli and Sausage in Air Fryer Recipe Faqs
Can I use raw sausage instead of pre-cooked? Yes! Just slice the raw sausage and cook it in the air fryer for 5–7 minutes first, then add the broccoli and veggies and finish cooking together.
Do I need to preheat the air fryer? Preheating isn’t always required, but it helps ensure even cooking and a crispier texture—especially for sausage.
Can I use frozen broccoli? You can, but for best results, thaw it first and pat dry to avoid excess moisture, which can lead to steaming instead of roasting.
What type of sausage works best? Smoked, fully cooked sausages like chicken sausage, kielbasa, or Italian-style links work great and are quick to cook.
How do I prevent the broccoli from burning? Make sure the broccoli is coated in oil and avoid overcooking. If using smaller florets, reduce cook time slightly or add them halfway through.
