how to make 10 Minute Air Fryer Chicken Sausage and Veggies

Ingredients:

• 1 large red bell pepper – cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 large orange bell pepper – cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 red onion – peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 medium zucchini – cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 tablespoon avocado oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• Pinch of black pepper
• 1 package chicken sausage (12 oz) – I used a robust Italian flavor

Directions:

1. Chop the veggies and add them to a large bowl. Drizzle them with avocado oil and toss to coat them all evenly.
2. In a smaller bowl, mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, kosher salt, and black pepper. Pour this spice blend over the veggies and toss until everything is well-coated.
3. Slice the chicken sausage into 3/4 inch rounds and add it to the bowl with the veggies. Toss everything together until combined.
4. Preheat the air fryer to 390 degrees F if needed, and spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray.
5. Add the veggie and sausage mixture to the air fryer basket in a single layer and close it. Cook for 10 minutes, flipping the ingredients halfway through. You may need to do this in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
6. Once cooked, carefully remove the chicken sausage and veggies from the air fryer. Serve as is or with cooked cauliflower rice or brown rice.
