    Ingredients Needed 

    Italian Sausage

    I found Italian sausage at my local supermarket. Be sure when purchasing to look at the nutrition label and make sure the carbs and sugar are low. I encourage my patients to keep the carb count under 5 grams.

    I used Sola Buns which are available at Wal-Mart, Kroger, Drug Emporium, and Rouses. 

    Low Carb Condiments

    Mustard, mayo, etc.

    How to Cook This Recipe.

    • Place Italian sausage links in air fryer basket.
    • Pour ¼ cup of water into the air fryer basket
    • Air Fry (or air crisp) at 360 for 10 minutes.
    • Open lid (or pull out basket). Using tongs. Flip.
    • Close lid (or place basket in air fryer)
    • Air Fry (or air crisp) at 360 for 5-10 minutes.
    • Serve with a low carb hot dog bun and low carb condiment.

    FAQ.

    Is Italian sausage keto?

    More than likely, yes! Be sure to review the nutrition facts on the label to make sure the carbs and sugar fit into your specific keto plan.

    Can I use frozen Italian sausage in air fryer?

    You can! Just make sure to run the sausage (while still in the package) under hot water for about 30 seconds so you can remove it from the package. I would follow the same directions as above, but cook for a total of 20 minutes.
