Ingredients

• 4 Italian sausages (mild or spicy)
• 2 bell peppers, sliced (any color)
• 1 large onion, sliced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon black pepper
• ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3–5 minutes.
2. In a large bowl, toss the sliced peppers and onions with the olive oil, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
3. Place the sausages in the air fryer basket. Arrange the seasoned peppers and onions around them in a single layer.
4. Air fry for 8 minutes.
5. Turn the sausages and stir the vegetables.
6. Continue cooking for 8–10 minutes, or until the sausages reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) and the peppers and onions are tender with lightly browned edges.
7. Let the sausages rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Serving Suggestions

• Serve on toasted hoagie rolls with melted provolone or mozzarella.
• Pair with roasted potatoes, mashed potatoes, or rice.
• Spoon over pasta with marinara sauce.
• Serve alongside a fresh green salad.

Tips

• If your air fryer is small, cook in two batches so the vegetables roast instead of steam.
• For extra caramelization, cook the peppers and onions for an additional 2–3 minutes after removing the sausages.
• Add sliced mushrooms during the last 8 minutes of cooking for extra flavor.
