Description
This quick and easy 10 Minute Air Fryer Chicken Sausage and Veggies recipe combines juicy chicken sausage with colorful vegetables for a fast, healthy weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12–16 oz pre-cooked chicken sausage, sliced into ½-inch rounds
- 1 medium zucchini, diced into 1-inch pieces
- 1 medium yellow squash, diced into 1-inch pieces
- 1 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
- 1 yellow or orange bell pepper, seeded and chopped
- 1 small red onion, cut into chunks
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or avocado oil
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for serving)
Instructions
- Slice chicken sausage into ½-inch rounds. Chop all vegetables into roughly equal-sized pieces (about 1-inch chunks) to ensure even cooking.
- In a large bowl, combine chicken sausage and all vegetables. Add olive oil and all seasonings, then toss until everything is evenly coated.
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 2-3 minutes. Add the sausage and vegetable mixture to the air fryer basket in a single layer.
- Air fry for 6-8 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking time. The vegetables should be tender-crisp and the sausage should have nice browning on the edges.
- Transfer to a serving dish, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese if desired, and serve immediately while hot.
Notes
- For a gluten-free version, ensure your chicken sausage is certified gluten-free.
- To make it dairy-free, skip the Parmesan or use a plant-based alternative.
- Check at 6 minutes for doneness and adjust cooking time based on your air fryer model.
