- Prepare the basket of the air fryer with a nonstick spray such as olive oil or use parchment paper for easier cleanup.
- Place the brats in the prepared air fryer basket in a single layer. Place the sliced bell peppers around the sides.
- Cook on 360 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes, flipping the bell peppers halfway through until the brats have reached an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit with a meat thermometer.

FAQs
What pairs well with cooked fresh brats?
Depending on what you like to eat, you can vary the side dishes! Cheese curds are great as is potato salad. I also like to pair fatty foods like fresh brats with a variety of cold local beers!
How do you keep brats from sticking to the air fryer tray
Make certain that you use a non stick spray on your trusty air fryer. As the air fryer cooks, the cooking spray will keep the brats from sticking during the cooking process.

I have read that we are not supposed to use Pam cooking spray in the air fryers. Supposedly eats the finish from the basket. Now I’m confused.
Thanks,
Sandy
Yes, you do NOT want to use a spray such as PAM in the Air Fryer as it has Soy Lecithin – and that will eat the nonstick finish off of your basket. You CAN use a nonstick spray such as an olive oil spray, avocado oil spray, etc. Any nonstick spray that does not have the ingredient soy lecithin. 🙂 Hope that helps!
