Air Fry Mixture
Preheat air fryer to 380°F (190°C). Add the sausage and vegetable mixture to the air fryer basket in a single layer if possible (work in batches if necessary). Cook for 20-25 minutes, shaking the basket every 5-7 minutes, until the sausage is cooked through and browned, and the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.
