Equipment

Ingredients

2 pound longaniza [0.91 kg]
2 limes (cut into wedges, for garnishing)

Instructions

1. Preheating air fryer (or oven)

Preheat the air fryer (or oven) to 350 ºF [175ºC].
⚠️ If yours is not a convection oven (that has an internal fan blowing during cooking) increase the temperature to 400 ºF [210 ºC].

2. Chopping the longaniza

Cut the longaniza into bite-sized pieces (about 1½ inches [4-5 centimeters].

3. Cooking

- To cook in the air fryer:
Place the longaniza pieces in the air fryer bowl without overcrowding. Cook for 10 minutes, then rotate them to cook evenly.
Cook for 5 to 10 more minutes, or until they turn a golden-brown color and when one is cut, it is cooked in the center.
⚠️ You may need to cook in two batches if you can't fit all the longaniza on the basket without piling. The photo shows 1 pound [0.45 kilo] in the basket of my air fryer.
- To cook in the oven:
Place the meat on a wire rack, skin-side up. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes, or until they turn a golden-brown color.
⚠️ If your oven doesn't have a fan, you may need rotate them halfway through the cooking to cook them more evenly.

4. Serving

Remove from the oven and serve while still hot with tostones (classic, or air fried) and garnish with lime wedges (to drizzle with juice to taste).
