Air Fryer Italian Sausage
Make juicy air fryer Italian sausage with browned casings and tender peppers and onions in about 20 minutes. I use a Ninja Foodi, but the same method works in other air fryers.

Notes
- Sausage options: Use fresh, raw mild, sweet, or hot Italian sausage links. Chicken or turkey Italian sausage works too.
- Check the temperature: Pork Italian sausage should reach 160°F in the center. Cook chicken or turkey sausage to 165°F.
- For more browning: The sausage may reach the right internal temperature before the casing is as browned as you want. Add another 1–2 minutes if needed.
- Vegetable swaps: Zucchini or yellow squash can replace some of the peppers. Give firmer vegetables, such as Brussels sprouts or root vegetables, a 5–10 minute head start.
