Creating the 10 Minute Air Fryer Chicken Sausage and Veggies is straightforward when you follow these steps:
1. Preheat Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and allow it to preheat for about 5 minutes.
2. Prepare Ingredients: While the air fryer is preheating, slice the chicken sausage and chop the vegetables into bite-sized pieces.
3. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the sliced sausage, mixed vegetables, olive oil, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss until everything is evenly coated.
4. Transfer to Air Fryer: Place the mixture in the air fryer basket in a single layer. You may need to do this in batches, depending on your air fryer size.
5. Cook: Air fry for 10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking.
6. Check for Doneness: Ensure the sausage is fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F/75°C) and the veggies are tender.
7. Garnish: Once everything is cooked, remove it from the air fryer and garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
8. Serve Immediately: Enjoy your meal hot for the best flavor and texture.
This simple method guarantees a delightful dish without spending hours in the kitchen.
