Step-By-Step Photos and Directions:
Step 1: Open the air fryer and place the kielbasa into the basket.
👀 Sandi Says: I use a Ninja Foodi Air Fryer. It is a great air fryer because it has separate fans for both cooking sections. This makes it the only safe choice for a household where some family members are not gluten-free. You can read more about the types of air fryers that are best for gluten free.
Step 2: Place the basket into the air fryer and set the cook time for 9 minutes at 375º F. After five minutes of cooking time, use tongs to turn the kielbasa over so the both sides cook evenly.
Move the cooked kielbasa to a cutting board and either slice it into slices, cut it to fit your favorite hot dog bun, or use it in a favorite recipe. Enjoy it hot.
