Ingredients
- 14 ounces kielbasa or other fully cooked sausage
- 1 ½ tablespoons avocado oil or olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (204°C). Meanwhile, slice the kielbasa into ½-inch thick rounds.
- In a mixing bowl, toss the kielbasa with the oil, turning to coat each piece fully.
- Arrange the slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. It’s okay if the pieces overlap a little.
- Air fry for 9-10 minutes, stopping halfway to shake the basket, or use a silicone spatula to flip the pieces over.
- Near the end of cooking time, open the basket to check on the kielbasa slices. When they’re hot and caramelized as much as you like them, carefully transfer them to a plate and serve.

Notes
- Add 1-2 minutes for extra crispy pieces, or subtract 1-2 minutes for juicier pieces.
- Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket. Cook in batches if necessary.
- Always preheat the air fryer! If you don't, it will take longer for the kielbasas to caramelize, and the sausage can become dry.
- To air fry the kielbasa whole (without slicing it first): Follow the same instructions, but poke a few holes in the kielbasa skin with a fork before cooking to keep it from bursting.
- This recipe is for fully-cooked kielbasa. Check the label to make sure yours is ready-to-eat.
