Air Fryer Sausage and Peppers
Air Fryer Sausage and Peppers is an incredibly quick and easy dinner recipe. 10 to 12 minutes of air frying time and you have deliciously charred sausage, onions, and peppers.
High heat caramelizes them a little and really brings out their flavor and sweetness.
Ingredient Notes
Only a minimal amount of ingredients are needed to make Air Fryer Sausage and Potatoes.
- Use any color bell peppers. Yellow, orange, red, and green all work well.
- Use a smoked, cooked sausage. Polksa Kielbasa, Andouille or any other smoked sausage will work well. Do not use uncooked sausage
Recipe Tips
- Cut the sausage in fairly thin slices and the bell pepper and onion roughly the same size (about 1 to 1 1/2 inch pieces.)
- No need to preheat the air fryer but you can. It will shorten the cooking time slightly.
- Avoid overcrowding. Cook in batches if necessary for maximum crispness. If there is a thick layer, the veggies and sausage will steam.
- Shake the basket halfway though to promote more even cooking.
- If your cajun seasoning has a lot of salt, you will need to add little, if any, salt.
- If you have leftovers, chop them up and use them as an omelet filling. Delicious!
How To Serve Air Fryer Sausage and Peppers
Serve as is for a low carb meal. You can pair it with a salad with Creamy Balsamic Dressing or serve over rice or quinoa or as a filling for a sub sandwich.
Storage
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat at 350 degrees in the air fryer for 3 minutes.
