Ingredients

  • 4 Italian sausages
  • 4 bell peppers any color, sliced into strips
  • 1 onion sliced
  • 1 tsp olive oil

Instructions

  • Preheat your air fryer to 370F.
  • Place your sausages in the basket of the air fryer and cook for 10 minutes.
  • Flip sausages using a pair of tongs.
  • Add the sliced peppers and onion (if using) and cook for an additional 8 minutes.
  • Remove the basket from the air fryer and serve immediately.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

Check your sausages at 15 minutes. Smaller sausage will cook closer to 15 minutes and larger may be closer to 20 minutes.
If you notice at the 15 minute mark your peppers are getting over cooked simply remove them. This can happen with smaller cut veggies.
Be careful not to overcrowd your air fryer basket. If you are making a lot of sausage it's better to do 2 batches.
Sausage options: You can use any kind of sausage you like, including chicken or turkey sausages.
Oven Instructions: Place everything on a baking sheet or roasting pan, and bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes, then flip sausages & peppers and bake for another 20-25 minutes. It's a good idea to use a meat thermometer!
Frozen Sausages: If you would like to use frozen sausages in place of the fresh ones in this recipe, add 5 minutes onto the initial sausage cook time.
