Air fryer kielbasa and peppers is a delicious and easy dish to make. The air fryer allows you to achieve a crispy texture on the kielbasa while keeping it juicy on the inside. Here’s a simple recipe to guide you:
Ingredients:
- 1 pound kielbasa sausage, sliced into bite-sized pieces
- 2 bell peppers (any color), sliced
- 1 onion, sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Optional: fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions:
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- In a bowl, combine the sliced kielbasa, bell peppers, onion, olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together until well coated.
- Transfer the kielbasa and pepper mixture to the air fryer basket or tray. Spread them out in a single layer to ensure even cooking.
- Cook in the air fryer for about 10-12 minutes, shaking or stirring the basket halfway through. Cooking times may vary depending on your air fryer, so keep an eye on the kielbasa and peppers to avoid overcooking.
- Once the kielbasa is crispy and the peppers are tender, remove them from the air fryer. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
- Serve the air fryer kielbasa and peppers as a main course with a side of rice, quinoa, or mashed potatoes. You can also enjoy them in sandwiches, wraps, or as a topping for salads.
This recipe is quite versatile, so feel free to customize it to your liking. You can add other vegetables like zucchini or mushrooms, adjust the seasonings, or even drizzle some barbecue sauce or honey for a different flavor profile. Enjoy your delicious air fryer kielbasa and peppers!
