Crostini with peppers are tasty and perfect to pair with both a meat or fish menu. I used Philadelphia cream cheese, but you can also use stracchino or robiola, both go well with peppers. I roasted the peppers in an air fryer alternatively, you can grill them or roast them in a fan oven at 356°F for 40/45 minutes, then place them inside a food bag and let them rest for 10 minutes so you can peel them perfectly. I cooked one red pepper and one yellow pepper, but you only need 1 for the recipe, so choose the one you prefer, or do as I did and use the leftover as a side dish. The cooking time for the peppers in an air fryer may vary depending on the type of air fryer you use. This is the air fryer I use.
