Equipment

  • 4 to 6-quart air fryer

Ingredients
  

  • 8 pork sausage links
  • 8 slices of bacon
  • 1 tbsp tallow or clarified butter for greasing
  • Salt to taste, if needed

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the air fryer to 400°F.
  • Wrap the sausages: Wrap each sausage link tightly with a slice of bacon. Secure with a toothpick if necessary.
  • Grease the air fryer basket: Lightly grease the air fryer basket with tallow or clarified butter.
  • Cook the sausage bites: Place the bacon-wrapped sausages in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Air fry for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the bacon is crispy and the sausages are fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 160°F).
  • Serve: Let the bacon-wrapped sausage bites cool slightly before serving hot.

Notes

Variations (Flexible Carnivore Diet):

  • Cheesy Bacon-Wrapped Bites: Add a small slice of cheese inside the sausage before wrapping it with bacon for a cheesy surprise.
  • Spicy Bacon-Wrapped Sausages: Add a sprinkle of cayenne pepper or smoked paprika on the sausages before wrapping for a spicy kick.
  • Garlic Bacon Bites: Drizzle with melted garlic butter after cooking for extra flavor.
