A quick and easy dish featuring chicken sausage and mixed vegetables cooked in an air fryer, perfect for busy weeknights or quick lunches.
Ingredients
Vegetables
- 1 large red bell pepper – cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 large orange bell pepper – cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 large red onion – peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 medium zucchini – cut into 1-inch pieces
Spices and Oil
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 pinch black pepper
Meat
- 1 package chicken sausage (12 oz) – robust Italian flavor
Instructions
Preparation
- Chop the veggies and add them to a large bowl. Drizzle with avocado oil and toss to coat.
- In a smaller bowl, mix the spices (garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, kosher salt, and black pepper) together and add to the veggies. Toss to coat.
- Slice the chicken sausage into 3/4 inch rounds and add to the bowl with the veggies. Toss everything together.
Cooking
- Preheat the air fryer to 390°F (if needed) and spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray.
- Add the veggie and sausage mixture to the air fryer basket in an even layer and cook for 10 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Serving
- Once cooked, remove everything from the air fryer and serve hot, alone, over rice, or with a simple side salad.
Notes
Cut vegetables to the same size for even cooking. Do not crowd the basket; work in batches if necessary. Flip halfway for even browning. Use flavorful sausage for better taste. Check for doneness at 8 minutes if your air fryer runs hot.
