You are going to love this air fryer recipe because it is a fast and easy one. First, you will need to cut and prepare your ingredients for the air fryer. Can you guess what you will need for this Sausage, Potato, and Onion Bake in the air fryer?
- Baby potatoes
- Green bell peppers
- Sweet onion
- Precooked sausage
- Avocado oil
I love having my ingredients be a little bigger than bite-sized, but feel free to size them however you want. If you do make them smaller, you will need to decrease the cooking time.
For the baby potatoes, I kept them whole. But you can cut them in half if you feel like they are too big.
You can also use other potatoes like Yukon gold or even russet potatoes. Just be sure to cut them down so they will cook through all the way.
Type of sausage to use:
For this recipe we used precooked sausage without the skin, however, you can use what you like! Here are some suggestions:
- Chicken sausage
- Kielbasa sausage
- Beef sausage
More veggies to use for this air fryer bake:
- Yellow onions
- Red onions
- Broccoli
- Sliced carrots
- Brussels sprouts
How to Cook Sausage, Onion, Pepper in the Air Fryer
Step 1: Chop ingredients
Begin by making sure that all of the peppers and onions are chopped to bite-sized pieces and the potatoes have been washed.
Step 2: Season veggies
Once all your ingredients are prepped, you will first toss the onion and pepper in a bowl with some olive oil. Then, spread the onions and peppers evenly in your air fryer basket.
Step 3: Add potatoes
Next, add in your potatoes and spray using your oil sprayer. Air fry at 370 degrees F 187 degrees C or for 10-12 minutes (remember this time will depend on the size of your vegetables).
After 10 minutes, add the rawsausage into the air fryer basket and air fry for an additional 10 minutes (If you cut your sausage into smaller pieces, cook for about 3-5 minutes) or until potatoes are cooked through.
How to add more flavor:
If you want to use more than just salt and pepper to these vegetables. You can use other seasonings to create a new flavor profile you and your family will love.
- Onion powder
- Garlic powder
- Chili powder

Would it make a difference (time) if I omitted the Bell Peppers?
I am highly allergic to them.
Hi Sheri! No time changes needed if peppers are omitted! Enjoy this one! It will still taste so great!
Thank you so much! : )
Hi Cathy,
Thank you for your reply to my inquiry about getting your recipes from youtube. Here is another question. In the sausage, pepper and potato recipe you say to use precooked sausage. I love Italian sausage and I have quite a few frozen but they are not precooked. How would I go about making this with the sausage I have?
I do make the sausage recipe but I make it in the oven. Now that the weather is warming up I’d rather do it in the air fryer.
Thank you,
Hi Diana, you’ll love this one in the air fryer! I would just cook the sausage from the beginning with all the veggies. Let me know how it goes for you!
Yum! Just ate it. Kind of a brunch meal too. Didn’t add peppers this time. Question – if wanting to add zucchini, maybe last three minutes or so?
Yes! It just depends how soft you like your zucchini. Sounds terrific!
