Instructions

Make the chimichurri

  • In a medium bowl, combine the red onion, vinegar, salt, and olive oil. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to mellow out the raw onion.
  • Add the garlic, parsley, pepper flakes, and water and whisk together.

Make the sandwiches

  • Preheat the air fryer to 390°F (200°C).
  • Place the sausages in the air fryer basket and cook until cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) in the center, 12 to 15 minutes, flipping halfway through. Transfer to a cutting board and slice the sausages lengthwise. Do not turn off the air fryer.

    ☞ TESTER TIP: If you prefer more browning on your sausages, slice lengthwise before air frying. Note that the cook time will be reduced to about 10 minutes.

  • Working in batches if needed, place the bread pieces in the air fryer until warmed through, about 30 seconds. Slice each piece of bread open.
  • Spread 1 tablespoon chimichurri on the bottom of each bread slice, top with one sausage each, then another 1/2 tablespoon chimichurri. Serve immediately.
