Notes
Larger air fryers: If you have a larger air fryer, like a tray style model, you can cook this in a single batch instead of in two batches.
Storage: You can keep any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days, or stored in the freezer for up to 2 months. If freezing, allow the sausage and peppers to cool to room temperature before adding to a plastic freezer bag or freezer container. Then, label and add to the freezer.
Reheating: To reheat your leftover sausage and peppers, add them to an air fryer that has been preheated to 300ºF. Cook for 5-10 minutes, or until heated through. You can also reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop, if desired. If reheating from frozen, allow to thaw first.
Gluten Free or Dairy Free: Check the packaging of your sausages, and select a brand that is free from gluten and/or dairy.
Low carb and Keto: Select sausages that are free from added sugar and fillers, OR have a low net carb count.
