Step 1

Preheat your air fryer to 360 degrees F (182°C). This will ensure that it's hot and ready when you place the bratwurst inside.

Step 2

If desired, lightly brush or spray the bratwurst with a small amount of cooking oil. This can help enhance the crispiness of the bratwurst, but it's optional.

Step 3

Place the bratwurst sausages in the air fryer basket. Make sure they are not touching each other to allow for proper air circulation.

Step 4

Cook the bratwurst in the preheated air fryer for about 10-15 minutes, turning them halfway through the cooking time. The exact cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the sausages and your air fryer model.

Step 5

While the bratwurst are cooking, you can also place the buns in the air fryer for the last 2-3 minutes to warm them up and slightly toast them.

Step 6

Once the bratwurst are cooked to your desired level of crispiness and the buns are warmed, carefully remove them from the air fryer.

Step 7

Assemble your bratwurst sandwiches by placing the cooked sausages in the warmed buns and adding your preferred toppings and condiments.

Step 8

Serve your air-fried bratwurst sandwiches hot and enjoy!
