How to Make the Recipe

Now, let’s dive into the steps to create this mouthwatering dish:

1. Chop the veggies and add them to a large bowl. Drizzle them with avocado oil and toss to coat them all. In a smaller bowl, mix the spices together with the salt and pepper, then add the spice blend to the veggies. Toss them in the spices to get them all nice and coated.
2. Slice the sausage into 3/4 inch rounds and add it to the bowl with the veggies. Toss everything together until well combined.
3. Preheat the air fryer to 390 degrees F and spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Add the veggies and sausage to the air fryer basket in an even layer. Close the basket and cook for 10 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time. You may need to do this in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
4. Once the chicken sausage and veggies are done cooking, remove them from the air fryer and serve as is or with cooked cauliflower rice or brown rice.

Pro Tips for Making the Recipe

Here are some helpful suggestions to ensure your dish turns out perfectly:

• Feel free to mix and match your favorite vegetables! Broccoli, asparagus, or even carrots would work wonderfully.
• If you like a bit of heat, add some red pepper flakes to the spice mix.
• For a heartier meal, serve the chicken sausage and veggies over a bed of quinoa or brown rice.
• Don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket; it’s better to cook in batches for even cooking.

How to Serve

This dish is incredibly versatile! You can serve it as a standalone meal or pair it with:

• Cooked cauliflower rice for a low-carb option.
• Brown rice for a wholesome, filling side.
• A fresh green salad to add some crunch and freshness.
• As a filling for wraps or pitas for a fun twist!
