A complete one-basket air fryer dinner that’s hearty, colorful, and easy to make. The potatoes get crispy, the sausages become beautifully browned, and the carrots and broccoli roast around them.

🛒 Ingredients

• 4 sausages, fresh
• 500 g potatoes, cut into 2–3 cm chunks
• 2 carrots, sliced
• 1 small head broccoli, cut into florets
• 1–2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp paprika
• ½ tsp onion powder
• ½ tsp Italian seasoning
• ½ tsp salt
• ¼ tsp black pepper
• ½ tsp smoked paprika, optional

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Start the potatoes

Cut the potatoes into evenly sized pieces. Toss with about half the oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 10 minutes.

2. Add the sausages and carrots

Shake the basket and add the sausages and carrots.

Lightly coat the carrots with the remaining oil and seasoning.

Continue cooking at 380°F (193°C) for 10–12 minutes, turning the sausages halfway through.

3. Add the broccoli

Add the broccoli florets during the last 7–9 minutes.

Give everything a good shake and continue cooking until the potatoes are crisp, the vegetables are tender, and the sausages are thoroughly cooked.

4. Check the sausages

The sausages should reach the safe internal temperature appropriate for their type; use a meat thermometer rather than relying only on time.

If the potatoes need more browning, cook everything for another 2–4 minutes at 400°F (200°C).

⏱️ Approximate Timing

The exact timing depends on the size of the vegetables, sausage thickness, and your air fryer.

🔥 Tips for Crispy Potatoes

• Cut potatoes into similar-sized pieces.
• Don’t overcrowd the basket.
• Dry the potatoes well before adding oil.
• Shake the basket several times.
• For especially crispy potatoes, soak the cut potatoes in cold water for 15–20 minutes, then dry them extremely well before cooking.

🥦 Keep the Broccoli From Burning

Broccoli cooks much faster than potatoes, so don’t add it at the beginning.

For tender broccoli with lightly browned edges, adding it during the final 7–9 minutes works much better.

If your broccoli tends to burn in your air fryer, toss it with a tiny amount of oil and add it even later.

🌭 Sausage Variations

This recipe works with:

• Italian sausages
• Chicken sausages
• Turkey sausages
• Pork sausages
• Bratwurst
• Spicy sausages

Thicker sausages may require additional cooking time.

🧄 Easy Flavor Upgrade

After cooking, toss the vegetables with:

• 1 tbsp melted garlic butter
• Fresh parsley
• A squeeze of lemon

Or sprinkle with grated Parmesan for a delicious finishing touch.

🍽️ Simple Serving Idea

Serve everything straight from the air fryer with mustard, ketchup, or a creamy garlic sauce.

For a complete dinner, add a simple green salad on the side.
