Categories     Main Course

Time 44m

Number Of Ingredients 6

5 Beer Brats (bratwurst )
1 Onion (sliced, we used sweet )
1 Yellow Pepper (substitute a red or green as you like )
12 oz Beer (we used an IPA, divided )
2 tbsp Butter
Salt and Pepper (to taste)

Steps:

  • Slice the onion and peppers. Add butter to the skillet and turn to medium high heat.
  • Add the onions and peppers to the skillet and cook for 10-12 minutes until they are caramelized and turning brown on the edges. Resist the temptation to move the onions and peppers too much during this process.
  • Once they are toasty brown, pour in 4 oz of beer, stir, and allow it to evaporate. This took me about 5-6 minutes.
  • Marinade the brats in 8 oz of beer in a Ziplock bag for 30 minutes.
  • Heat the Air Fryer to 360 degrees and add the brats.
  • Remove the beer brats after 11-15 minutes. Turn them half way to make sure they are browning all the way around.
  • Place them in buns and layer with pepper/onion mixture, plain mustard or sauerkraut.
