10 Minute Air Fryer Chicken Sausage and Veggies – Helpful Tips

Cooking Tips & Techniques
Use pre-cooked chicken sausage—just slice and toss it in with your veggies for a fast, flavorful meal.
Chop veggies into uniform bite-sized pieces to ensure even cooking in the air fryer.
Toss everything with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and a pinch of smoked paprika for extra depth.
Preheat your air fryer if your model requires it, then cook at 390°F–400°F for 8–10 minutes, shaking halfway through.
Don't overcrowd the basket—cook in batches if needed to keep everything crisp.
Serving Suggestions
Serve over cauliflower rice, quinoa, or a warm grain bowl for a heartier option.
Top with shredded parmesan, a drizzle of balsamic glaze, or a sprinkle of fresh herbs.
Great in a wrap or pita pocket with tzatziki or hummus for a quick lunch.
Pair with a side of avocado slices or a fried egg for a breakfast-style power bowl.
Perfect for meal prep—just portion into containers and store for the week.
Make-Ahead & Storage
Make-Ahead: Chop all veggies and slice sausage up to 2 days in advance.
Refrigerator: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
Freezer: Not ideal for freezing due to veggie texture, but sausage alone can be frozen.
Reheat: Reheat in the air fryer or skillet at 350°F for 3–5 minutes until warmed and crisp.
Tasty Variations to Try
Spicy Italian Style: Use hot Italian chicken sausage and toss with bell peppers, red onion, and zucchini.
Lemon Herb Medley: Add lemon zest and Italian seasoning for a lighter, brighter flavor.
Tex-Mex Twist: Toss with taco seasoning and serve with salsa and guac.
Low-Carb Option: Use only non-starchy veggies like broccoli, cauliflower, and bell peppers.
Asian-Inspired: Add a splash of soy sauce and sesame oil, and top with green onions and sesame seeds.
