These air-fryer brats are a nod to my German heritage. I serve them with a green vegetable and some french fries or mashed potatoes on the side. For a deeper sauce flavor, try using a lager or stout beer.
Ingredients
1 package (20 ounces) uncooked bratwurst links
2 tablespoons butter
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon dill weed
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 bottle (12 ounces) beer or nonalcoholic beer
5 slices thick bread
Directions
Preheat air fryer to 400°. Place bratwurst in a single layer in a greased air fryer. Cook until no longer pink, 8-10 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, heat butter over medium-high heat. Add onion; cook and stir until onions start to brown and soften. Add flour, dill weed and pepper; stir until smooth. Stir in beer. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, stirring constantly until thickened, 3-5 minutes. To serve, place 1 brat on each slice of bread; top evenly with onion mixture.
