Ingredients
  

For the Veggies
  • 1 each Red Bell Pepper Adds sweetness and color; substitute with yellow or green for different flavors.
  • 1 each Orange Bell Pepper Provides a mild sweetness; can be replaced with another color bell pepper.
  • 1 each Red Onion Contributes sharpness and depth; yellow onion can be used as a substitute.
  • 1 each Zucchini Adds moisture and texture; substitute with yellow squash for variation.
For the Seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder Enhances flavor; fresh minced garlic can be used for a stronger taste.
  • 1 teaspoon Onion Powder Adds depth; omit or enhance with fresh onions if preferred.
  • 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning Brings a blend of herbs; use any dried herb blend like oregano or basil as a substitute.
  • 0.5 teaspoon Kosher Salt Enhances overall flavor; table salt can be used in a pinch but use less due to higher salt concentration.
  • 0.25 teaspoon Black Pepper Adds heat; freshly ground is better for flavor but can be omitted for low-sodium diets.
For the Protein
  • 12 oz Chicken Sausage The main protein source; any pre-cooked sausage can be used as an alternative.
For Cooking
  • 1 tablespoon Avocado Oil Used for tossing vegetables and enhancing flavor; olive oil also works well.

Equipment

  • Air Fryer

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Chop the Vegetables: Begin by washing and chopping the red and orange bell peppers, red onion, and zucchini into bite-sized pieces. Place all the chopped veggies into a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with avocado oil, coating them well, and set the bowl aside as you prepare the seasoning.
  2. Mix the Seasoning: In a separate small bowl, combine the garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, kosher salt, and black pepper. Stir until evenly mixed. Sprinkle the seasoning over your avocado-coated vegetables and toss thoroughly.
  3. Prepare the Chicken Sausage: Slice the chicken sausage into ¾-inch rounds. Combine the sliced sausage with the seasoned vegetables in the mixing bowl, tossing gently to ensure everything is evenly coated.
  4. Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 390°F (200°C). Spray the basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  5. Air Fry the Mixture: Add the chicken sausage and vegetable mixture to the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to promote even cooking.
  6. Serve Your Meal: After cooking, carefully remove the basket. Serve your Air Fryer Chicken Sausage and Veggies hot, optionally accompanied by cauliflower rice or brown rice.
