Without releasing odors, without oil or fats, even cooking, soft but not mushy, and thanks to the air fryer’s ventilated function, the skin will easily come off. I love this cooking method also because they peel immediately without effort!

Once peeled, the roasted peppers should be cut into strips.

Steps

Air Fryer Roasted Pepper Salad

Wash the peppers and place them whole in the air fryer basket.
Or on the appropriate air fryer shelves
Cook at 392°F for 20/25 minutes, turning them halfway through cooking.
(I’d like to remind you that each air fryer has its own timing and degrees, so check accordingly).
Once cooked, place them still hot in a plastic or paper food bag, seal and let cool for 10 minutes, this way they will peel immediately.
This way, thanks to the steam, the skin will start to detach, making it easier to peel them.

Be careful to remove it all, including the seeds and internal filaments, which make peppers indigestible.
Cut the peppers into strips and place them in a bowl.
Season with salt and pepper, olive oil. I also add black olives and capers, (but you can also add anchovies).
Mix and let sit for 30 minutes before enjoying your salad peppers.
Enjoy your meal
