Description

This Air Fryer Sausage with Vegetables recipe offers a quick and flavorful one-pan meal that’s perfect for busy weeknights. Featuring fully cooked sausage links paired with vibrant bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion, all seasoned with a blend of garlic, Italian herbs, and smoked paprika. The air fryer cooks everything to perfection, resulting in tender veggies and slightly crisp sausage slices served hot and ready in just 25 minutes.

Ingredients

Sausage

  • 4 fully cooked sausage links (chicken, pork, or turkey), sliced into 1-inch rounds

Vegetables

  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 small red onion, sliced
  • 1 zucchini, sliced into half-moons

Seasonings & Oil

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to warm up while you prepare the ingredients. This ensures even cooking from the start.
  2. Toss Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the sliced sausage, red and yellow bell peppers, red onion, and zucchini. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle garlic powder, Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper over everything. Toss well until all pieces are evenly coated with the seasoning and oil.
  3. Arrange in Air Fryer Basket: Transfer the mixture into the air fryer basket in a single, even layer. Avoid overcrowding to promote proper air circulation and crispness.
  4. Cook: Air fry for 12–15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time to ensure all sides cook evenly. The vegetables should be tender and lightly browned, and the sausage slices heated through with a slight crisp on the edges.
  5. Serve Hot: Remove from the air fryer and serve immediately. Enjoy as a standalone meal or paired with rice, pasta, or quinoa. Optionally, drizzle with balsamic glaze for extra flavor.

Notes

  • Feel free to substitute or add other vegetables such as mushrooms, broccoli, or squash based on preference or seasonality.
  • For more depth of flavor, drizzle the finished dish with balsamic glaze before serving.
  • This dish pairs well with grains like rice, pasta, or quinoa for a more filling meal.
  • Make sure the air fryer basket isn’t overcrowded to allow proper air flow and even cooking.
