Print Recipe

When it comes to quick and easy one-pot meals, this Air fryer Sausage and Cabbage recipe is at the top of my list. The depth of flavor and the crispy edges of the cabbage in the air fryer is the game-changer! This recipe is perfect for those busy weeknights when you’re craving something hearty and wholesome but want to save time in the kitchen. And if you have the leftovers, reheating is a breeze.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cabbage Chopped or shredded. Approximately 1 medium head cabbage, cored and coarsely chopped
  • 1 Sausage Polska Kielbasa smoked sausage sliced into ½ inch rounds. (1 pound)
  • 1 medium Onion 1 small or medium yellow or sweet onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 Tablespoon Oil Avocado oil or Extra Virgin Olive oil.
  • 2 cloves Garlic minced
  • ½ tsp Salt or more to taste
  • ½ tsp Pepper fresh ground black pepper, or more to taste
  • ½ tsp Seasoning Optional seasoning of choice. I used half a teaspoon of Vegeta All-purpose seasoning.
  • 1 tsp Herbs Chopped fresh parsley or thyme, optional

Instructions

  1. Finely chop cabbage into 1-inch chunks, then gently separate the leaves. Slice one medium onion into half rings.
  2. Preheat your air fryer to 360°F. (185°C)

    In a large bowl, toss the chopped cabbage and sliced onion with olive oil. Add salt & pepper to taste, and a teaspoon of spices of your choice, such as garlic powder or paprika, and toss to combine. You may instead add a teaspoon of your favorite seasoning. I used Vegeta All-Purpose seasoning.

  3. Layer the Sausage and Veggies: Spread the cabbage and onion mixture in the bottom of the air fryer basket. Arrange the sliced sausage on top. Lightly spritz with cooking spray. This will insure the cabbage edges do not burn and the dish will cook evenly.
  4. Air fry: Cook in the preheated air fryer for 10-12 minutes, flipping everything halfway through.
  5. Garnish and serve: Once done, sprinkle with fresh herbs, if desired, and serve this dish as is for a wholesome, low-carb meal. It pairs wonderfully with a side of quinoa or brown rice if you need something a little heartier.
