Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 lb smoked sausage, sliced
- 2 bell peppers, sliced
- 2 cups baby potatoes, halved
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for optimal cooking temperature.
- Wash baby potatoes thoroughly and cut them in half to ensure even cooking and crispy edges.
- Slice bell peppers into uniform strips approximately 1/2 inch thick to promote consistent cooking.
- Cut smoked sausage into 1/2-inch diagonal slices to maximize surface area and caramelization.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine sliced potatoes, bell peppers, and sausage.
- Drizzle olive oil over the ingredients and sprinkle garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss thoroughly to ensure even seasoning coverage.
- Transfer the seasoned mixture into the air fryer basket, spreading ingredients in a single layer to allow proper air circulation.
- Cook in the air fryer for 18-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even browning and prevent sticking.
- Check potatoes for tenderness and sausage for desired crispness. If needed, cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Once cooked, carefully remove from air fryer and let rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
- Plate and garnish with fresh chopped parsley or green onions if desired. Serve hot.
Tips
- Preheat for Perfection: Always preheat your air fryer to 380°F (193°C) to ensure even cooking and achieve that desirable crispy finish.
- Uniform Cuts Matter: Slice your bell peppers and sausage into uniform pieces—about 1/2 inch thick. This ensures they cook evenly and caramelize beautifully.
- Don’t Overcrowd the Basket: Spread the ingredients in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Overcrowding can lead to uneven cooking and prevent that crispy texture we all love.
- Shake it Up: Halfway through cooking, give the basket a good shake to promote even browning and prevent sticking.
- Check for Doneness: Use a fork to check the tenderness of the potatoes and the crispiness of the sausage. If you prefer extra crispiness, feel free to add a couple more minutes to the cooking time.
- Garnish for Flavor: Enhance the presentation and flavor by garnishing your dish with fresh chopped parsley or green onions before serving.
- Serve Immediately: This dish is best enjoyed fresh out of the air fryer, so plate it up and dig in right away for maximum flavor!
