The airfryer is perfect for cooking merguez sausages without splattering and without having to keep an eye on the pan! The sausages cook evenly, brown nicely on the outside and remain juicy on the inside. The result: well-cooked merguez, slightly crispy on the outside, ideal for serving with semolina, grilled vegetables or simply in a loaf of bread with a little mustard. Simple, quick and effective ;)
