Ingredients:
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 yellow bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 red onion, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 2 small zucchinis, cut into 1-inch thick half moons
- 1 large Granny Smith apple, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 pound apple chicken sausage, sliced into 1-inch slices
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
Cooking Guide:
-
Prep: Wash and chop all your vegetables, apple, and sausage into similar-sized pieces. This ensures even cooking throughout.
-
Season: In a large bowl, combine the chopped vegetables, apple, and sausage. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with Italian seasoning. Toss well to coat everything evenly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
-
Preheat: Most air fryers work best when preheated. Set your air fryer to 390°F (199°C) and preheat for 5 minutes while you prepare the ingredients.
-
Air Fry: Once preheated, carefully transfer the seasoned mixture to the air fryer basket in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding, as this can affect airflow and crispiness.
-
Cook: Cook for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp, the sausage is cooked through, and the apples are slightly softened.
-
Serve: Once cooked through, remove the basket from the air fryer and serve immediately. You can garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or chives for an extra pop of flavor.
Tips:
-
Apple Choice: Granny Smith apples are a great choice for this recipe due to their tart flavor that complements the savory sausage. However, you can also experiment with other apple varieties like Honeycrisp or Pink Lady for a sweeter twist.
-
Don’t Crowd the Basket: Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket, as this can trap moisture and prevent the ingredients from crisping up properly. Cook in batches if necessary.
-
Cooking Time Variations: Cooking time may vary depending on the size and thickness of your ingredients, as well as your specific air fryer model. Keep an eye on your food towards the end of the cooking time and adjust accordingly.
-
Leftovers: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer or on the stovetop until warmed through.
