Ingredients for Air Fryer Bell Peppers
I suggest doubling the quantities and making a double batch because they disappear quickly.
- 5.3 oz red and yellow bell peppers (weight after trimming)
- 1 tablespoon grated Grana Padano (or Parmesan – about 0.18 oz)
- 1 tablespoon fine cornmeal (about 0.18 oz)
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- salt
- black pepper
Tools
- 1 Bowl
- Air Fryer
Preparation of Air Fryer Bell Peppers
Clean the bell peppers by removing the stem and all seeds and white inner filaments. Then wash them, pat dry with a kitchen towel, and slice them into strips.
Transfer them into a bowl and season with a tablespoon of oil, a generous pinch of salt, and a generous grind of black pepper.
Then add a tablespoon of grated cheese and a tablespoon of fine cornmeal. Mix well to evenly coat all the peppers.
Meanwhile, turn on the air fryer to a temperature of 356°F and start preheating it. If you don’t have one and wish to purchase it, I show you mine, which you can find by clicking HERE.
Line the basket with the appropriate paper, spread the peppers in a single layer, and cook them at 356°F for 15 minutes, stirring halfway through.
The air fryer bell peppers are ready. Serve them immediately, piping hot. Enjoy! Paola
