Spray bottom of air fryer with a couple pumps of oil
Cut sausage ring into 4 pieces.Place kielbasa in the bottom of the air fryer basket or drawer and poke each piece with a fork a few times *This will allow some of the fat from the sausage pieces to drain to the bottom of the drawer or basket* You can remove the sausage casing now or leave it on until cooked, as it's easier to remove once it's cooked.
Spray with a few pumps of oil/5 second spray if using an aerosol spray
Cook time: Cook on 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 7 minutes on one sideThen turn over and cook for another 6 minutes on the other side*NOTE: If your ring of kielbasa is thinner, it will take less time - I would try 3-4 minutes on each side
The kielbasa will be done when the internal thermometer reads 160 degrees F (71 degrees C) *Using an instant-read thermometer is the best way to ensure doneness!
Cut the casing off the kielbasa, if you didn't do this at the beginning
