Air Fryer Kielbasa is a flavorful and delicious dish that can be prepared in minutes! Air frying kielbasa slices, makes them juicy and crispy, perfect for a meal, snacking or an easy appetizer!
Kielbasa slices are one of our family favorites for breakfast. Cooking kielbasa in the air fryer is so much easier than frying over a hot skillet. It is so easy to prepare and serve, with almost no prep, making it perfect for busy weeknights or mornings.
To make this recipe, all you need is one package of uncooked kielbasa. You don’t need to add oil or butter because of the natural fat in the sausage. You can cook it whole, or cut kielbasa sausage pieces.
These are perfect to serve with a side of pancakes!
What is Kielbasa?
Kielbasa are Polish Sausages. It’s actually the word for sausage in Polish, so it really is describing any sausage meat. In America, we usually refer to sausage ropes as kielbasa. You can find kielbasa in grocery stores in the sausage and bacon section, or in the meat department.

I make this recipe in my Cosori Air Fryer. Depending on your air fryer, size and wattages, cooking time may need to be adjusted 1-2 minutes.
Meal Ideas Using Kielbasa Air Fryer Sausages
This sausage is delicious with vegetables, like this one-dish dinner, air fryer sausage and peppers, or sweet onion slices. You can also add it to pasta for a more filling and hearty dinner, or to eggs for a delicious breakfast.
Kielbasa also pairs really well with all sorts of potatoes. Diced potatoes like these Air Fryer Breakfast Potatoes, or even Sweet Potatoes, is another tasty combination dinner idea. Adding chopped kielbasa to potato salad, is another delicious way to serve this sausage.
You can also add a tablespoon or two of brown sugar to the slices before air frying, for a sweet glaze that everyone will love! Serve with your favorite dipping sauce, such as BBQ sauce, honey mustard, or ketchup.
