Preheat the air fryer to 360 degrees F / 182 degrees C.
Place Italian sausages inside the air fryer basket in a single layer, leaving space between them for air to circulate so they cook evenly.
Air fry for 10-15 minutes, turning the sausages over halfway through the cooking time.
Use a digital meat thermometer to check to ensure they are fully cooked. The internal temperature should be at least 160 degrees F / 71 degrees C when inserted into the thickest part of the sausage.

To avoid smoking, make sure the air fryer basket is clean. Sausages have a high fat content and will drip during cooking. If your air fryer model has a drip tray, that must be clean as well.
Other tips for preventing smoking: place a perforated parchment paper liner in the air fryer basket, or add a small amount of water to the drawer underneath the basket.
Cooking a lot of Italian sausages? To prevent smoking, clean the basket between batches.
To reduce the cooking time, slice Italian sausages in half lengthwise before placing in the air fryer.
Air fryer temperatures may vary depending on the make and model, so use the cooking time listed as a guide, check food for doneness, and adjust time as needed.
The total cooking time will depend on the size and thickness of the sausages.
It's important to note that Italian sausage and smoked sausage are not the same.
Cook fresh Italian sausage within 3 days of purchasing or freeze it for later.
Be sure the internal temperature of the sausages reaches 160 degrees F / 71 degrees C before serving.
Storage - keep leftovers in an airtight container inside the fridge for 3 days.
