Equipment
Ingredients
- 16 oz Kielbasa Package Turkey kind also works!
Instructions
- Preheat air fryer to 400°F. It takes 2 - 3 minutes.
- Cut into even-sized coin pieces. I cut so I have about 3 'coins' per inch. They don't have to be exact, but aim for similar sizes so they cook more uniformly. Try to place in a single layer. Some overlap is OK. If you have a lot of overlap, you may want to make 2 batches.
- Cook for 4 minutes on each side (total of 8 minute cook time). Because there is pork in it, I cook Kielbasa to the USDA recommended temperature of 145°F. I have never had an issue with it being cooked through when it looks done!
Notes
How to Serve:
A traditional Polish combination is sauerkraut on the side. The Sauerkraut complements the kielbasa's savory flavor.
A bold or sweet mustard can elevate the taste of your kielbasa.I grew up with Dijon mustard and that's what I use.
Sautéed onions and peppers add a sweet and savory touch. Perfect as a side or if you are having Keilbasa on a roll.
Serve kielbasa in a roll with your favorite condiments for a hearty sandwich (see ideas above)
