Preparation of Air Fryer Bell Peppers
To start, preheat the air fryer. Meanwhile, cut the bell peppers in half, remove the waste parts, wash and dry them well with paper towels.
Now that the air fryer is ready, place a suitable sheet of parchment paper in the basket (it’s not necessary) and place the peppers cut-side down. Cook at 356°F for 5 minutes.
After the 5 minutes, remove the basket, use tongs to turn the peppers skin-side down, season with salt, pepper, and two sprays of oil, and continue cooking for 10 minutes at 392°F, moving the peppers halfway through.
In total, after 20 minutes, you have roasted air fryer bell peppers, ready to be enjoyed hot and steaming or even cold!
