I love serving these air fryer sausage and peppers in a hoagie roll. It reminds me of getting a sausage and peppers sandwich at a baseball game or from an NYC street cart. Grab your air fryer and let's do this!
Ingredients
This recipe requires only a few ingredients.
- Sausages- I used both spicy and sweet Italian sausages in this recipe. You can use turkey, chicken or pork sausage, just make sure it is uncooked.
- Bell peppers and onions- use one red and one green bell pepper. You will also need one sweet onion.
- Rolls- use hoagie rolls, hot dog rolls, potato buns or brioche buns. Any kind of roll will work.
Recipe Notes
Air fryer temperature. I cooked the sausage and veggies at 400 degrees F in my air fryer. If your air fryer tends to run hotter, set it to 375 degrees F instead.
Cook time. This recipe calls for cooking the peppers, onion and sausage at the same time. If you prefer your veggies to be softer, cook them for 5-8 minutes longer than the sausage.
Substitutions and variations. If you prefer to use pre-cooked sausage, you will need to reduce the cook time to about 10 minutes, just until the sausages are browned. Instead of red and green peppers, you can use orange or yellow.
Serving and Storing
Serve the air fryer sausage and peppers in a bun with mustard, marinara sauce and/or mozzarella cheese for a great tasting sandwich. They can also be served over pasta, rice or mashed potatoes.
If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. Reheat in the microwave for about 1-2 minutes.
