Equipment

Air Fryer

Silicone Tongs

Chopping Board - Plastic

Silicone Pastry Brush

Ingredients

8 Meat Free Sausages - 8 = 300g/10.5oz
Vegetable Spray Oil

Instructions

If your air fryer requires pre-heating, Start this setting now.
Take 8 Meat Free Sausages out of the packet and place on a plate, board or bowl. Give them a pat dry with kitchen paper if they are at all wet.
Give each sausage a squirt or two with Spray Vegetable Oil and gently move the sausages around so they are all coated all over with a very thin layer of the oil. Or use a brush to make sure they are fully coated.
Place the sausages into the air fryer basket. Leave a little space between each so the air can circulate.
Air fry for 10 minutes at 200c/390f.
If you want to turn them after 6-7 minutes, you can do but I don't believe it is necessary.
And serve!

To Cook From Frozen

Prepare 8 Meat Free Sausages by making sure they are all separated. If there is any ice on them at all, give them a quick run under the cold tap to remove it and they dry them thoroughly with a towel.
Give each sausage a squirt or two with Spray Vegetable Oil and gently move the sausages around so they are all coated all over with a very thin layer of the oil. Or use a brush to make sure they are fully coated.
Place the sausages into the air fryer basket. Leave a little space between each so the air can circulate.
Air fry for 12 minutes at 200c/390f.
If you want to turn them after 8-9 minutes, you can do but I don't believe it is necessary.
Serve!

Notes

The air fryer version of this recipe is tested in a Cosori Lite (‎CAF-LI401S) with a 3.8 litre capacity. The square(ish) shaped basket is 21cm x 21cm and 24cm on the diagonal.
Not all models advise preheating is required. Please follow the recommended instructions for your model. Mine has a specific preheat setting which is 4 minutes at 205c.
For this recipe, I can easily fit 8 meat free sausages in the basket at a time. This gives plenty of room to allow air to circulate. I think I could easily cook another 4 without issue. Any more and they may take longer to cook and need to be turned more.
As all air fryer models are a little different, you may find that you can fit more or less in at a time. Some models include stacking shelves which will increase capacity.
Required cooking times and temperatures can also vary between models and brands. If you know that your air fryer runs a little hotter than most recipes suggest, use a lower temperature. And vice versa. Equally if you find that food cooks more quickly in your machine than instructions usually state, reduce the cooking time (or check it earlier) and vice versa.
