Ingredients

• 16 oz Polish sausage, kielbasa, or your choice of rope sausage or link sausages
• 1/2 large yellow or white onion, sliced into 1-inch pieces
• 3 bell peppers, any color combination, seeds and stems removed, chopped into 1-inch pieces
• 1 tablespoon avocado oil or olive oil
• 1 teaspoon parsley
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• Pinch of salt and pepper, to taste

Directions

Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients

1. In a large bowl, combine the sliced sausage, chopped peppers, and onions.
2. Add the oil and seasonings (parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper) to the bowl.
3. Toss everything together until the sausage and vegetables are well-coated with the oil and seasonings.

Step 2: Cook in the Air Fryer

1. Place the sausage and pepper mixture into the air fryer basket or on the air fryer rack. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook in batches. The mixture should be spread out but doesn’t need to be in a single layer.
2. Cook at 400°F for 12 minutes, tossing halfway through the cooking time. If you prefer a crisper texture, cook for an additional 2 minutes.

Step 3: Serve and Enjoy

1. Once done, carefully remove the sausage and peppers from the air fryer.
2. Adjust seasoning with extra garlic, salt, and pepper if desired before serving.
