How To Cook Sausage And Broccoli In The Air Fryer
There’s nothing quite like making a delicious and nutritious meal in the air fryer. And if you’re looking for an easy-to-follow recipe that doesn’t take too long to make, look no further than this sausage and broccoli dish. Not only is it incredibly simple to whip up, but this combination of flavors also packs a punch: savory sausages combine perfectly with the crunchy delicacy of broccoli florets! With just about 10 minutes’ worth of cooking time, you’ll be able to enjoy a hot, flavorful supper – no frying pan required!
Step One: Prepare The Sausage and Broccoli Stir Fry
Start by slicing the sausages and broccoli, on a cutting board, with a sharp knife. Add the cut sausages, peppers, broccoli florets, onions, oil, and seasonings in a large bowl and toss well to coat.
Step Two: Air Fry
Transfer the mixture into the air fryer basket in a single layer, and set the cooking time for 10-15 minutes at 370 degrees F, using the air fryer setting.
Step Three: Serving
Remove the Cooked sausages and veggies and serve. You can serve it over rice or eat it as is!
Pro Tips:
- Seasonings: There are so many seasonings that you can use; some of my favorites are Italian Seasoning, Onion Powder, Garlic Powder, or even taco seasoning. For some added heat, add some red pepper flakes. Raw sausage will take longer to cook.
- Crowding: For best results, do not crow your air fryer basket; leave plenty of space around the sausage so that the sausage cooks up perfectly. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook this recipe in batches.
- Shaking: At the halfway mark, shake the basket or use a pair of tongs to flip the food; this way, both sides get perfectly cooked.
- Parchment Paper: You can line the bottom of the basket with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Ingredient Notes:
- Sausage: You can use any fully cooked sausage; any sausage will work in this recipe, such as beef sausage, chicken sausage, sausage links, or turkey sausages.
- Veggies: You can add any vegetables. Some great options are sweet potatoes, green beans, broccoli rabe, Brussels sprouts, cherry tomatoes, green onions, or even baby potatoes.
What To Serve With Air Fryer Sausage and Broccoli
The possibilities are endless regarding what you can serve with air fryer sausage and broccoli. Potatoes, rice, pasta, and vegetables pair nicely with this savory dish.
- Mashed potatoes are a natural fit for the flavors in this meal.
- If you’re looking for something with more texture, Air Fryer fried rice or Air Fryer Cauliflower Rice is a great choice.
- Serve with Parmesan Cheese or Cheddar Cheese
- You can add whatever vegetables or proteins you like to personalize the dish. A fried egg on top adds a nice finishing touch.
How To Store
This is a great meal that the entire family will love, and I love making his meal ahead of time, as it reheats well. Store any leftovers in an airtight container, then store them in the refrigerator. It will last in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. You can reheat this meal in the air fryer at 350 degrees F and set the cooking time for 5-6 minutes.
