Ingredients
Scale
Sausage and Vegetables
- 12 ounces smoked sausage or chicken sausage, sliced into 1/2-inch pieces
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 yellow bell pepper, chopped
- 1 small red onion, sliced
- 1 medium zucchini, chopped
Seasoning
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it is properly heated before cooking.
- Prepare the mixture: In a large bowl, combine the sliced sausage, chopped red and yellow bell peppers, sliced red onion, and chopped zucchini. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to coat all ingredients evenly with the seasoning and oil.
- Arrange in air fryer basket: Place the sausage and vegetable mixture in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. If needed, cook in batches to avoid overcrowding, which helps everything cook evenly and get crispy.
- Air fry: Cook for 12 to 15 minutes, shaking or stirring the basket halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning and tenderness. The sausage should be browned and the vegetables tender when done.
- Serve: Serve hot immediately, either on its own or over rice, pasta, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
Notes
- Feel free to customize with other vegetables like mushrooms, green beans, or cherry tomatoes.
- For a spicy kick, sprinkle red pepper flakes over the mixture before cooking.
