Air Fryer I Use

You can probably find a lot of ways to use your Air Fryer. I am using the one by Ninja brand, and it works double duty as a counter oven, dehydrator, and indoor grill … so perhaps it’s really four times the duty, 😊!

I really like it because it saves me a lot of time and makes my fries and other recipes extra crispy without the necessity for a considerable amount of extra oil. Whatever kind of Air Fryer you’re using, you will end up shocked once you see how easy it is to create frozen French fries in your air fryer right out of the freezer!

Air Fryer Frozen French Fries Ingredients

My bag of French Fries is always available in the freezer for when it’s time for dinner, and we want a straightforward, crispy, kids-friendly side dish to go with our main dish. Frozen French fries are the thing!

Here are some tips about what you’ll need to make your French fries:

• Frozen French Fries, you can use any brand you like as long as they’re relatively the same size. Alexia might be my personal favorite brand but go with the ones you prefer.
• Salt and Pepper: this is optional; you can season it according to your liking.

Notes for Air Fryer Frozen French Fries

Ok, the most crucial thing here’s the following: Don’t put too many fries in your air fryer. The air within the air fryer must circulate to cook evenly, and you never wish to get your fries with burnt ends and some which can end up soggy and not cooked nicely. It’s much safer to cook frozen french fries batch by batch rather than overfill your air fryer. Your model determines the maximum number of fries that can fit, but as a guideline, make an effort to leave a little room between most of the fries.

How long does cooking Frozen French fries in the air fryer take?

Very fast! Once you preheat your air fryer, it takes 15 -18 minutes to cook them, according to what type of fries you’re cooking.

The Best Air Fryer For Frozen French Fries

Many Air Fryers are pretty decent and simple to use; however, there are several which come built with features that you might or might not need. For example, a timer could be very handy for anyone who would like to know just how much time is left for the food to be ready.

An additional feature that you might want is the capability of your air fryer to work without oil. Not surprisingly, this version is the healthiest, and you might want an advanced fryer for different recipes.

One delicious way to enjoy these fries is by pairing them with some air fryer frozen chicken breasts, chicken wings, fantastic air fryer brats, pork steak, or these air fryer pork chops with garlic butter. These combinations are endless and truly mouth-watering.

Today, I’ve decided to share with you how to cook bratwurst with an original German recipe. Caramelized and sweet, with simmering beer and onions, this sausage recipe will take you straight to the famous October Fest.

So when fall festivities like sports events and Oktoberfest come alive, I’m pleased to prepare this classic, virtually every German-American picnic or sports day: German bratwurst sausages with onions with Wisconsin spin.

My friend John comes from Wisconsin, a state with a lot of German descendants. John enjoys beer, sausages, and football. Years back, John prepared his well-known bratwurst for a Superbowl gathering at our home.

Simmered in beer with onion slices and then added onto soft rolls with the best grainy mustard, this form of bratwurst quickly became my favorite.

What’s the difference between Bratwurst and other sausages?

Sausages are very popular in Germany, and bratwurst is one among the countless on the list.

So, what is the difference between a typical sausage and a bratwurst sausage? Sausage could be produced from smoked sausage, dried sausage, and fresh sausage, with many regions having their particular version. Bratwurst sausages are fresh as opposed to smoked or dried.

Bratwurst is really a fresh sausage of pork and veal, with added seasonings like coriander, caraway, and nutmeg. Separate areas of Germany have different seasonings with other favored sausages like knackwurst, which is garlicky, being certainly one of my children’s favorites.

Sheboygan-style bratwursts are a well-known variation of sausage with lots of onion that comes from Wisconsin and is certainly one of my personal favorite ways to cook brats.

Ingredients for Bratwurst Sausage

I enjoy brats; you know that by now. I really like them grilled, steamed, air fried, and even boiled. Give me some grainy mustard and a brat on a smooth bun, and I’m happy.  Also, you can make this fantastic currywurst sauce for the ultimate German experience. This particular bratwurst sausage recipe was made based on the Sheboygan-style bratwursts prepared with sliced onion and some beer.

The key ingredients you’ll need for bratwurst and onions are listed below:

• Bratwurst sausage: Of course, select a top-quality bratwurst. If you’re able to, have them freshly produced by a butcher.
• Onions: I personally use trusted old-fashioned yellow onions. Sliced thickly, they don’t really disappear because they cook right down to sweet and caramelized to a candy taste.
• Caraway seeds: Caraway spice is one particular spice that tastes distinctly German. Add 1 Tbsp of other spices and herbs if you wish to experiment, like fresh ground ginger, mustard seed, garlic cloves, coriander seed…
• Beer or ale: I work with a light pale ale or amber ale for the flavor to this Bratwurst recipe. These kinds of beer put in a malt flavor that sweetens since it cooks down and flavors the brats as well as the onions.
• Buns: Certainly, one of my dislikes about hot dogs, bratwurst, and other sausages is it needs to be served with a great bun. It is just not true. And I beg you, ensure it is warm also. Select a plain bun or one with onion flakes or poppyseed if you wish.

The Best Way to Cook Bratwurst

• These bratwursts are steamed in onions and beer to absorb all of the yummy flavors the amber ale beer gives.
• Firstly, the sliced onions are cooked with a bit of butter and then braised in the beer with the bratwursts.
• The sliced onion is cooked with a bit of butter and then braised in the beer with the bratwursts.
• While they cook, the onion softens in the beer broth, making it slightly jammy.

If you’re in a rush and want to try a delicious and unique recipe, why not give this air-fryer bratwurst a try? It’s a quick and easy way to prepare brats without having to spend hours in the kitchen. Plus, the air-fryer gives the brats a crispy, flavorful crust that will have your mouth watering.

Beer substitute for Bratwurst recipe

If beer is not an option for you for this recipe, you can cook the bratwurst in a non-alcoholic beer, apple cider, or apple juice, or you could even try it with chicken or veggie stock.

See here how you can cook beer-battered bratwurst!

How to Serve Bratwurst?

Bratwurst may be served as a sandwich with the buns and topped with onions, mustard, and or sauerkraut or served as a main dish with potato salad of your choice, sour and sweet cabbage, and sauerkraut on the side. Bratwurst sausage demands excellent German mustard.

I prefer a mix of both grainy mustard and yellow German mustard. This really is one dog that’s best with deli-style yellow mustard that chills in the refrigerator.
