Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 medium bell peppers sliced
  • 1 medium yellow onion sliced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • 1 package uncooked Italian sausages mild or spicy

Instructions

  • Preheat your air fryer to 390℉.
  • While it heats, slice the peppers and onion and toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Then, place the peppers and onions in the air fryer basket.
  • Add the sausages in a single layer on top of the veggies. Leave a little room between them so they are not touching each other. Cook for 15 minutes, flipping the sausages every 5 minutes, until they reach an internal temperature of 160℉.

Notes

Try not to pierce the sausages and line your air fryer with foil before cooking to help limit the grease splatter and make clean-up easier.
For softer peppers and onions, cook for another 2-3 minutes after removing the sausages.
Store leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 4 days.
The cooked sausages can be frozen for up to 3 months.
Reheat leftovers in your air fryer at 360°F until warmed through or in the microwave.
