These Easy Air Fryer Brats are full of flavor and ready to eat using the Air Fryer in mere minutes!
Are you ready for a tasty, easy meal? Air Fryer Brats are one the BEST meals this season, and they are simple to prepare using your Air Fryer. If you do not have a grill handy, this is the best option!
These brats can be prepared right along with green bell peppers and sweet onions, then serve them all on a nice hoagie roll or hot dog bun.
These can also be made with beer brats too or any variety you prefer. If you prefer a more low-carb option, try these Air Fryer Bratwurst and Vegetables.
We like to mix them up and use a variety of different brats.
Can you make brats in the Air Fryer or Ninja Foodi?
Yes, you can make brats in the Air Fryer or Ninja Foodi. The cooking time will vary a bit depending on how you cut and prepare the brats.
These brats will cook for about 15 minutes at 365 degrees F. Once you have them cooking, you will add them to your favorite hoagie roll or hot dog bun then serve them up!
Can you use foil in the Air Fryer or Ninja Foodi?
For most of my Ninja Foodi Recipes that use the Air Crisp function or the Air Fryer, you can use foil. It makes things much easier to clean up too, but you do need to make sure you roll up the sides so that you can keep the air circulating.
Parchment Paper that is specifically made for the air fryer can also be used.
Either choice be sure to place the food on the foil or parchment paper before starting the air fryer so that the foil or parchment paper does not blow into the heating element. This way the paper is weighted down.
Can you cook frozen brats in the air fryer?
Brats can be cooked either frozen or fresh. If you do them from frozen it may be necessary to add an extra 1-3 minutes at the end of cook time to get them fully cooked.
We like to get the internal temperature to 165 degrees F before serving, this is easy to check with a quick-read thermometer.
What should you serve brats with?
A variety of side items are easy to make and serve alongside these brats.
Air Fryer Brats or Air Fryer Bratwurst make for a wonder easy dinner whether it’s for a summer evening or football season!

Can you use precooked brats?
Kristy says
Yes, but the cook time may need to be shorter so keep an eye on them.
John Nugent says
Lay one end of the brat on bottom of pan, and the other end against the wall so brats are circular placed and at an angle in pan. Works like a charm.
