Prepare Skewers
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning. Thread sausage pieces, bell peppers, red onion, and cherry tomatoes onto the skewers, alternating ingredients.

Air Fry
Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Place skewers in the air fryer basket in a single layer, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Cook for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until vegetables are tender-crisp and sausage is heated through and lightly browned.
