Ingredients:

  • 1 large red bell pepper – cut into 1-inch pieces

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Directions:

  5. Slice the chicken sausage into 3/4 inch rounds and add it to the bowl with the veggies. Toss everything together.

  8. Once done, remove the chicken sausage and veggies from the air fryer. Serve as is or with cauliflower rice or brown rice.
