Made in the air fryer, this sausage and vegetables dish is the perfect healthy lunch or dinner. It’s my go-to meal when I don’t have the time to cook and still want something homemade, satisfying, and healthy. It air fries in less than 20 minutes! This dish also reheats wonderfully, so you can also have a meal ready for the next day. The most difficult part about making this recipe is the chopping! Then the air fryer does the rest of the work.

I love how versatile this air fryer recipe is. You can use a different sausage every time or change up the vegetables to what you have in the fridge. You can serve it as is or with some rice if you prefer. You can make this all week and have something different every time. Need another easy air fryer meal?

Key Ingredients You Need

Ingredients needed to make air fryer sausage and vegetables.
  • Sausage — I like to use either chicken or pork sausages, but feel free to have fun with this! There are so many different sausages and flavors to choose from. A smoky or spicy sausage is a great option as well.
  • Potatoes — I’m using a russet potato, but you can use any variety you have on hand; you can even use a sweet potato if that’s all you have on hand. 
  • Bell peppers — I use red and orange bell pepper as they’re sweet. If you use green bell pepper, it’ll be much less sweet.
  • Oil — I use olive oil, but you can use any neutral oil, such as avocado oil.  
  • Seasoning — I’m keeping things simple by using garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. However, you can use any blend of spices you’d like.

Tips For This Recipe

  • I suggest buying a good quality sausage when possible. Good quality sausages are made from good cuts of meat, so they cook better in the air fryer.
  • Make sure to cut the vegetables into similar-sized pieces, so they cook evenly. 
  • Tossing the sausage and vegetables in the air fryer halfway will help them get crispy on all sides.
  • You can cut the sausage and vegetables ahead of time. Once cut, you can place them in an airtight container in the fridge for a couple of days before air frying them.
  • To ensure the sausage is fully cooked, you can use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 160F.
  • If you want to use fully cooked sausage, add them to the air fryer towards the end to crisp them up.
