How Long Do You Cook Brats In An Air Fryer?
Process times will vary based on the make and model of your air fryer, but typically they cook at around 390 degrees Fahrenheit for around 10 minutes.
Make sure you prick the brats with a fork several times before cooking them to prevent them from bursting.
And always allow air-fried food to cool for a few minutes before eating since the exterior will be much hotter than the interior.
