Quick answer
How long do you cook Italian sausage in the air fryer?
Air-fry raw Italian sausage links at 380°F (193°C) for about 12 to 15 minutes, turning halfway, until browned and 160°F (71°C) in the center. Use a single layer with space between links. Sliced peppers and onions can go in for the last 8 to 10 minutes. Air fryers vary, so check early.
