🛒 Ingredients
1 pound kielbasa sausage
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon brown sugar, optional
1 bell pepper, chopped
1 small onion, chopped
👩🍳 Directions
Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 380°F (193°C) and allow it to preheat.
Slice the kielbasa: Cut the kielbasa into approximately 1-inch pieces. This gives the edges plenty of opportunity to get deliciously browned and crispy.
Season everything: Place the kielbasa, chopped bell pepper, and onion in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with smoked paprika, garlic powder, and brown sugar if using. Toss well until everything is evenly coated.
Into the air fryer: Arrange the kielbasa and vegetables in the air fryer basket in a mostly single layer. Avoid overcrowding so everything has room to brown properly. Cook in batches if necessary.
Air fry: Cook at 380°F (193°C) for 10–14 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking. The kielbasa should be browned and lightly crisp around the edges, while the peppers and onions should be tender and caramelized.
Serve: Carefully remove from the air fryer and serve immediately with your favorite mustard, BBQ sauce, rice, or roasted potatoes.
🍽️ Serves 4
