1. Slice the bell pepper and onions into 1/2-inch strips. Toss in a large bowl with olive oil, salt and pepper.
2. Spread onions and peppers in the air fryer basket.
3. Roll the sausages around in the basket to coat with oil on all sides. Nestle in the sausages.
4. Bake on air fryer at 350 for 7 minutes.
5. Remove from air fryer and cover with foil, allow to rest for 3-4 minutes.
6. To serve, place sausages in buns and top with peppers, onions, and Parmesan cheese. Broil in the oven for a few minutes to melt the cheese and toast the buns. Alternatively, you can place the prepared sausage rolls back into the air fryer for 1-3 minutes or until the cheese is melted and buns are toasted.
