Instructions
Preparation
- Chop the veggies and add them to a large bowl. Drizzle them with avocado oil and toss to coat.

- Preheat the air fryer to 390 degrees F and spray the basket with cooking spray.
Cooking
- Add the veggies and sausage to the air fryer basket in an even layer.
- Cook for 10 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time. You may need to do this in batches, depending on the size of your air fryer.
- Once done, remove the chicken sausage and veggies from the air fryer and serve them as is or with cooked cauliflower rice or brown rice.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat in the air fryer or microwave. Cut veggies into similar sizes for even cooking. Add red pepper flakes for spiciness. Experiment with different veggies like broccoli or asparagus.
