Air Fryer Breakfast Sausage
These maple chicken sausage patties from Wal-Mart are one of my favorites to have for breakfast the morning. I'll serve them with some scrambled eggs and cheese for an easy low carb breakfast.
Sausage of any kind is great in the air fryer like these Chicken Sausage in Air Fryer or Johnsonville Sausage in Air Fryer.
Air Fryer Arby’s Curly Fries or Air Fryer Frozen Vegetables are also great in the air fryer!
While you're waiting for your scrambled eggs to cook on the stove or griddle the air fryer is an excellent tool to use to help with getting food faster on the table.

Recipe Tips
- Preheating ensures that the fries cook evenly and achieve the desired crispiness.
- Avoid Overcrowding: Cooking in smaller batches will help the fries cook more evenly and get crispier.
- Shaking the Basket: Shaking the basket halfway through cooking helps ensure that all the fries cook evenly.
- Experiment with Seasonings: Feel free to experiment with different seasonings like garlic powder, paprika, or Cajun spice to add an extra kick to your fries.
- Always store leftovers in clean, food-grade containers. The type of container doesn’t really matter. Use zip lock, glass, plastic, whatever! Make sure to store any leftovers in an airtight container.
