Ingredients
Steps
- 1
Cut sausage into 2-inch pieces. Toss with sliced peppers, onions, olive oil, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- 2
Spread in air fryer basket in a single layer.
- 3
Air fry at 400°F for 14-16 minutes, tossing every 5 minutes, until sausage is browned and peppers are charred at edges.
- 4
Check sausage reaches 165°F internal temperature.
- 5
Pile onto Italian rolls with marinara and provolone, or serve over pasta.
Tip: Cut the peppers and onions thick so they don't overcook before the sausage is done. Use a mix of sweet and hot Italian sausage for the best flavor. The charred pepper edges are the best part — don't undercook.
Why Air Fry This?
- ⏱️Ready in 16 minutes vs ~29 in a conventional oven — no preheating needed.
- 🍖Circulating hot air renders fat and seals in juices for a crispier outside and tender inside.
- ⚡Uses significantly less energy than heating a full-size oven for a single batch.
