Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound sausage (about 2-3 links)
  • 1 bell pepper, seeds removed and cut in thick strips
  • 1 onion, sliced thick
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried herbs
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • salt, to taste
  • fresh cracked black pepper, to taste
  • olive oil or oil spray, for coating

Method
 

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for 5 minutes.
  2. In a bowl, combine the bell pepper strips, sliced onion, 2 teaspoons of olive oil, dried herbs, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
  3. Poke a few holes around the sausages with a toothpick. Coat the outside of the sausage links with olive oil or oil spray.
  4. Lightly spray the air fryer basket or tray with oil.
  5. Arrange the sausages in the air fryer basket/tray and place the seasoned vegetables around them.
  6. Air fry at 380°F (193°C) for 8 minutes. Flip the sausages and stir the vegetables.
  7. Continue to air fry for another 4-6 minutes, or until the sausages are cooked through and the juices run clear. Check internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  8. If the vegetables are done before the sausage, remove them temporarily and continue cooking the sausage, then add veggies back for the last minute.

Notes

- Ensure sausages are cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safety.
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes with the other seasonings.
- This dish stores well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat gently in the air fryer or microwave.
