This Sausage and Peppers (Air Fryer and Oven) dish is made with sweet and spicy sausages, bell peppers, onions and air fried to crispy goodness.

This air fryer sausage recipe is so delicious because it leaves the sausage to be crispy but juicy on the inside. It is so quick and everything is made in the air fryer, which makes clean up so much easier. It is a great weeknight dinner. I have been so obsessed with my air fryer and have been making so many different recipes with it. Since I live in NYC, I don’t have access to a grill, especially in the winter. Luckily, the air fryer creates a similar taste, creating a perfectly brown crispy sausage. I love this meal because it is nutritious and keto friendly.

Ingredients

You'll only need a few simple ingredients to make this. The exact measurements are listed in the recipe card below. Here's an overview of what you'll need:

  • Italian sausage
  • Bell pepper
  • Yellow onion
  • Olive oil

See recipe card for quantities.

This Sausage and Peppers (Air Fryer and Oven) is made with sweet and spicy sausages, bell peppers, onions and air fried to crispy goodness.

Instructions

  1. Air Fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 350°F. Add the sliced onions, bell peppers, and sausage into the air fryer. Add olive oil and salt and toss to combine. Air fry for 25 minutes total, tossing once halfway.
  2. Oven: Preheat the oven to 425°F. Add the sliced onions, bell peppers, and sausage on a prepared baking sheet. Add olive oil and salt and toss to combine. Transfer the sheet pan to the oven and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven, flip the sausages and toss the peppers and onion. Bake for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until the sausages reach internal temperature of 160°F and the peppers and onions are slightly charred on the edges.

Hint: You could chop the sausages for a crispier sausage.

Substitutions

Sausage: I love using Italian sausage for this, with a combination of some being spicy and some being sweet.

Bell pepper: You can use any color of bell pepper you desire. I used one green and one red pepper, because I love how colorful it makes the dish.

Onion: You can use any type of onion. Traditionally, this dish uses yellow onion, although white or red onion would work too.

Olive oil: I love using my olive oil spray whenever I make anything in the air fryer. It creates a much lighter feeling and it is so delicious.

Variations

Cooking is a chance to be creative! Have fun with it and feel free to make your own variation.

  • Spicy - add chili pepper flakes in the sausage before cooking, or add hot sauce at the end.
  • Deluxe - serve on rice or pasta.
  • Kid friendly - add crushed potato chips for a nice crunch.

Equipment

Equipment can have a big impact on how a recipe turns out. Stone bakeware takes longer to heat up than metal pans, and also retain heat for longer, which could make the recipe more watery, or burnt on the outsides.

I love using my Caraway pots, pans and baking sheets for best quality. Get yourself a discount by clicking here!

Storage

This will be good in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.

The Sausage and Peppers (Air Fryer and Oven) can be frozen for up to three months.

Top tip

This recipe is foolproof. Feel free to add a little bit more time for a crispier sausage.
