Ingredients
For the sausages
- 1 pound Italian sausage (mild or spicy)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (optional) For added flavor
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional: sliced bell peppers and onions For added flavor
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (193°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper, creating a marinade.
- Add the Italian sausages to the bowl, ensuring they are coated fully with the marinade.
- If you want extra flavor, toss in sliced bell peppers and onions to the mixture.
Cooking
- Place the seasoned sausages in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Do not overcrowd; cook in batches if necessary.
- Cook the sausages for 12-15 minutes or until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C), flipping them halfway through the cooking time for even browning.
- Once done, carefully remove the sausages from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
