Description
Air Fryer Sausage with Vegetables is a quick and healthy meal that combines juicy sausages with a medley of colorful vegetables, all cooked to perfection in an air fryer.
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini, sliced into half circles
- 12 ounces green beans, cut into halves or thirds
- 1 bell pepper (any color), cored and cut into 1-inch strips
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (can substitute avocado oil spray)
- 2 teaspoons dried basil
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 12 ounces fully cooked sausages (4 dinner-sized links), sliced into 1/4-inch thick circles
Instructions
1. Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and let it preheat for about 3 minutes. Preheating the air fryer is crucial for achieving the perfect crisp and texture on your ingredients.
2. Toss the Vegetables: In the large bowl, combine the prepared zucchini, green beans, and bell pepper. Drizzle with the olive oil and toss to coat the vegetables evenly.
3. Season the Mixture: Sprinkle the dried basil, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper over the vegetable mixture. Gently toss everything together until the seasonings are well distributed.
4. Add the Sausage: Add the sliced sausages to the bowl and give the entire mixture a light stir to combine the sausages with the seasoned vegetables.
5. Air Fry: Transfer the sausage and vegetable mixture to the air fryer basket, spreading it out in an even layer. Cook at 400°F (200°C) for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the vegetables are tender and the sausages are nicely browned.
Notes
This dish can be served over rice or quinoa for a complete meal. You can also pair it with a fresh salad or garlic bread for a satisfying dinner.
