Recipe Tips

- Make sure to leave some space between the frozen cevapi when placing them into the air fryer. This will help them cook and brown all around.
- There are various different brands of frozen cevapi. This as well as your air fryer can vary the exact cooking time. Please make sure you sausages are cooked through to a temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
