Air Fry in Batches
Arrange the mixture in the air fryer basket in a single layer as much as possible (you will likely need to cook in 2-3 batches). Cook at 400°F (200°C) for 10-15 minutes per batch, shaking the basket halfway through, until the sausage is browned and cooked through, and the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.

Combine and Serve
Once all batches are cooked, combine them back in the bowl or directly onto a serving platter. Serve hot.
