- There is no need to thaw the sausage patties before air frying.
- Flip the patties halfway through cooking for even browning on both sides.
- Cooking times may vary depending on the thickness of the sausage patties and your air fryer model, so check them during the last few minutes.

- If you're cooking several patties, work in batches rather than overcrowding the air fryer basket.
