Cajun Sausage and Vegetable Medley

A vibrant, flavorful dinner featuring spicy Cajun sausage paired with roasted peppers and crispy baby potatoes, all cooked to perfection in the air fryer.

Ingredients

  • 250g Cajun sausage, sliced
  • 300g baby potatoes, halved
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Method

  1. 1

    Preheat air fryer to 200°C (400°F).

  2. 2

    In a mixing bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.

  3. 3

    Place the seasoned potatoes in the air fryer basket and cook for 15 minutes, shaking halfway through.

  4. 4

    While the potatoes are cooking, toss the sliced Cajun sausage, bell peppers, and onion with the remaining olive oil, salt, and pepper in a separate bowl.

  5. 5

    After 15 minutes, add the sausage and vegetable mixture to the air fryer basket with the potatoes; shake to combine.

  6. 6

    Cook everything together for an additional 10 minutes, shaking the basket at the 5-minute mark for even cooking.

  7. 7

    Once cooking time is completed, let the dish rest for 5 minutes; this allows the flavors to meld together.

  8. 8

    Plate the potatoes, sausage, and vegetables, garnishing with fresh parsley before serving.
