Equipment

  • Air Fryer

Ingredients

  • 1 lb sausage chicken or pork
  • 2 cups potatoes yukon gold or russet, quartered and cut thin
  • 1 large red bell pepper cut into 1 inch pieces
  • 1 large orange bell pepper cut into 1 inch pieces
  • ½ large red onion cut into 1 inch pieces
  • 1 medium zucchini cut into 1 inch half moon shapes
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp oregano
  • ½ tsp dried thyme
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp pepper

Instructions

  • Slice the sausage into ½” rounds and quarter the potatoes into pieces no larger than ½" thick.
  • In a large mixing bowl, add all of the ingredients and toss to combine.
  • Dump the entire contents of the mixing bowl into the air fryer basket and cook at 375 F for 13 to 16 minutes, tossing halfway through the cooking time.
  • Serve with a side of white or brown rice.

Notes

  • 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.
