Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound baby potatoes halved
- 1 large green or red bell pepper – cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 medium yellow onion – peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 (12oz) package precooked chicken sausage or pork sausage – sliced into 1/2-1-inch rounds
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F – if your air fryer has a preheat function
- Add the chopped potatoes, bell peppers, and onion to a medium bowl, drizzle with olive oil and add in the seasoning (Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt and pepper), toss to coat everything in the oil and seasoning.
- Add the potatoes and veggies to the air fryer in a single layer (if some are overlapping that is okay), shake the basket, then close and cook for 12-15 minutes shaking everything in the air fryer basket halfway through cooking – if using a tray air fryer then rotate the tray halfway through cooking for even browning.
- Then add the cut sausage, toss everything in the air fryer basket and cook for 5-7 more minutes, until the internal temperature of the sausage reaches 165°F, when checked using a meat thermometer.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Cut the potatoes, sausage and peppers and onion into 1-1.5 inch pieces so everything cooks evenly in the air fryer.
- You can use any type of potatoes like baby potatoes, Yukon gold, russets, sweet potatoes or even purple potatoes. Just make sure to cut them into 1-1.5 inch pieces.
- Any type of precooked sausage will work, I used smoked chicken sausage. Kielbasa also works great in this recipe.
- Shake the basket halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.
- Store leftover sausage and potatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat portions in the air fryer at 350°F util fully heated through.
