These Air Fryer Brats cook with onions and bell peppers for the perfect sandwich or main dish! Try these next time you’re missing the ballpark snacks!
These brats are as delicious as they are on the grill but without the hassle and mess.
The skin gets crispy while the inside stays juicy, giving you the perfect sausage.

How to Make Them
- Slice the bell pepper and onion into thin slices, no more than 1/2 inch thick. Any color of bell pepper will work here! I prefer orange.
- Add sliced veggies to the air fryer basket or tray and lightly spray with oil. Cook for 5 minutes at 350°F or 175°C.
- Remove the brats from the package.
- Add them to the air fryer basket with veggies.
- Cook veggies and brats for 15 minutes more. Shake or stir at the 5-minute and 10-minute mark.
- Serve and enjoy!
Serving Tips
These are great as a sandwich with some mustard, mayo, pickles, or ketchup.
No bun? I would serve the sausages, sliced or whole, on top of the onions and bell peppers with a side salad.
For a party, I like to make these with my Deviled Egg Pasta Salad which brings the flavor of the holidays to a great summer dish!
Tips and Tricks
Using a light coat of oil will help keep the veggies and brats from sticking to the basket.
However, don’t use aerosol oil spray (Like Pam) in the air fryer basket because it can damage the nonstick coating.
If you still want to be able to use a sprayer, invest in an oil mister or sprayer that you can refill with your favorite oil!
