air fryer sausage foil packets
These Air Fryer Sausage Foil Packets are perfect for busy nights when you don’t want to spend hours cooking or doing dishes. They’re full of protein and vegetables for a well-rounded meal, and they cook in just a few minutes because everything is cooked in one foil packet.
Pro Tip:
- You can use any Air Fryer, basket, or oven to make this dish. In the Ninja Foodi, Instant Pot Vortex, Instant Pot Crisp Lid, and Mealthy Lid, I have also prepared delicious foil packet dinners. The cooking time will change, but the recipe will stay the same.
- Use heavy-duty aluminum foil for the greatest results. It will hold up better throughout cooking and dishing because it is heavier than standard foil.
- Cut the ingredients into pieces that are comparable in size. In this manner, they all cook simultaneously.
- Because you don’t want to overcrowd the air fryer basket, you might need to cook these Air Fryer Sausage Foil Packets in batches. They won’t cook through adequately otherwise.
- Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions wherever possible before using foil in your air fryer, given that each one varies somewhat.
The ingredients include:
- 4 Italian sausage;
- 1 pound Yukon gold potatoes;
- 3 large carrots;
- 1 large zucchini;
- 1 large yellow onion;
- 4 cloves garlic;
- 2 tablespoons butter, diced into cubes;
- and sauce made with ¼ cup olive oil,
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning,
- 1 teaspoon paprika,
- and ½ teaspoon garlic salt.
Guidelines
- Tear out four 12-inch aluminum foil sheets. Put aside. Spoon evenly between each foil sheet all the ingredients except the butter and sauce.
- Drizzle the sauce and a little butter on top of each packet.
- Once the long edges are folded in, crimp firmly. To ensure that all corners are secured, fold in the short edges and crimp firmly.
- After adding the Air Fryer Sausage Foil Packets to the Air Fryer Basket, air fry them for 15 to 20 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit, or until they are fork-tender.
- Arrange, present, and savor!
