Air fryer sausage and bean casserole

An all-in-one sausage and bean casserole, cooked in the air fryer for an easy midweek dinner for two. It’s packed with veggies, so you don’t need anything else with this, but some warm focaccia or ciabatta drizzled with extra virgin olive oil would be a lovely accompaniment.
