Can You Make Sausage and Veggies in an Air Fryer?
Making sausage can be really easy in the air fryer, even if it is raw. In the air fryer, you can throw it in and let it cook through. The air in the basket is distributed evenly, making it one of the best ways to get perfectly cooked sausage every time.
Air fryers are like a small convection oven, and it helps roast things in a smaller way in less time.
How Long Does it Take to Cook Veggies in an Air Fryer?
This recipe is one of the best if you are looking for a short prepping time and time to do other things as it cooks. It should take you about ten minutes to chop everything up and get it into the air fryers basket.
Then you have 20 minutes to do anything else you want; you can make sides or go do a load of laundry. This recipe allows you to go do other things while it cooks everything for you at once.
Tips on Using an Air Fryer
There are some tips you should keep in mind when cooking anything in the air fryer. If you are a newbie, this one-pot air fryer recipe is a great one to practice with. Keep these tips in mind as you go.
- Preheat Your Air Fryer In most cases, the air fryer heats so quickly that it does not need to preheat prior to cooking.
- Oil the Basket Another thing to keep in mind is oiling the basket or even making a tinfoil basket inside of your air fryer. This will keep it from sticking.
- Don’t Crowd the Basket Some foods need to cook in a single layer, while others like this recipe can be put in all at once so dinner is complete when the timer goes off.

Just got my 1st airfryer and making this tonight! Thank you for posting. Now I am wondering what other things cxan I serve with it?
I make this and I find that nuking the potatoes first for about 3 minutes helps cook them better. Then toss all together with EVO and spices for a great meal.
We loved this recipe, I added diced chicken as well and at the end added garlic butter and then mixed one more time. My husband loved it.
Can you make it with Italian sausage?
Hi Emily!
Italian sausage links would cook the same as the sausages in the recipe so long as they’re in a casing. Sounds tasty to me!
