Air Fryer Sausage and Peppers
Juicy Italian sausage with sweet bell peppers and onions, all cooked together in the air fryer with barely any oil.
Ingredients
- 4 Italian sausage links sweet or hot
- 3 bell peppers cut into strips
- 1 large yellow onion sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Hoagie rolls optional, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 380°F.
- Cut the bell peppers into strips and slice the onion. Toss them in a bowl with the olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Spread the seasoned peppers and onions in the air fryer basket and lay the sausage links on top in a single layer.
- Cook at 380°F for 15 to 20 minutes, shaking the basket and turning the sausages every 5 minutes, until the sausage is browned and cooked through (160°F for pork, 165°F for chicken or turkey) and the vegetables are soft and caramelized.
- Serve as is, or pile into toasted hoagie rolls.
Notes
- Meal prep like I did: cook a big batch (I did 8 links and a full tray of veggies), refrigerate 4–5 days, and reheat at 350°F for a few minutes.
- Don't overcrowd the basket — cook in a single layer (or in batches) so the vegetables roast instead of steam.
- Pork sausage is done at 160°F internal temp (165°F for chicken or turkey).
- Starting from frozen sausage? Add 5–7 minutes and always verify 160°F inside.
