Air Fry Sausage and Peppers
Arrange the mixture in a single layer in the air fryer basket. You may need to cook in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook for 16-18 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the sausage is cooked through and browned, and the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.
