Ingredients

Meat

  • 2 pounds ground pork

Spices and Seasonings

  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon ground sage
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon dried marjoram
  • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 pinch ground cloves

Sweetener

  • ¼ cup pure maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Prepare the spice blend: In a small bowl, whisk together the kosher salt, ground black pepper, ground sage, garlic powder, dried marjoram, crushed red pepper flakes, and a pinch of ground cloves to create a well-balanced seasoning mix.
  2. Mix ingredients: Place the ground pork in a large mixing bowl. Sprinkle the prepared spice blend evenly over the pork. Drizzle the pure maple syrup across the top to add sweetness and moisture.
  3. Combine thoroughly: Gently mix the ground pork, spices, and maple syrup together until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated, taking care not to overwork the meat to keep it tender.
  4. Shape patties: Divide the sausage mixture into equal portions and form each into a patty shape suitable for cooking in an air fryer.
  5. Preheat air fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to preheat, ensuring even cooking for the sausage patties.
  6. Air fry the patties: Arrange the patties in a single layer within the air fryer basket. Cook for 10-12 minutes, turning the patties halfway through the cooking time to ensure they develop a golden-brown crust on both sides and reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) for safe consumption.
  7. Rest and serve: Remove the patties from the air fryer and let them rest a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute, resulting in a moist and flavorful sausage.

Notes

  • Use ground pork with a fat content of around 20% for juicy, flavorful patties.
  • Adjust red pepper flakes to taste for spiciness, or omit for a milder flavor.
  • Ensure internal temperature reaches 160°F for food safety according to USDA guidelines.
  • These sausage patties can be made ahead and frozen; cook straight from frozen adding a few extra minutes to the air frying time.
  • Maple syrup adds a subtle sweetness—substitute with honey if preferred.
