Peppers, brimming with summer colors and aromas, are perfect for the air fryer, quickly and easily transforming into a delectable dish. This method brings out the best in peppers, making them a favorite for many.
These air-fried peppers make a wonderful accompaniment, especially for grilled meats, or a versatile addition to a wide variety of dishes, from hot or cold vegetable salads to pizzas, sandwiches, and burritos.
All you need is an air fryer, a few peppers, olive oil, and your favorite spices. The secret lies in the variety of ingredients: the more spices and different peppers you use (red, yellow, orange, green), the richer the flavor you’ll enjoy in your dish.
See the recipe below:
Ingredients
3 large peppers (red, yellow, orange or green peppers)
1 tbsp olive oil, extra virgin olive oil
salt & pepper
Preparation:
Wash the peppers thoroughly. Then cut them into strips and drizzle them with a little oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Cooking: Place the peppers in an air fryer at 200°C for 10-12 minutes. Check them frequently, stirring them from time to time with a wooden spoon or spatula. This ensures that they do not burn and that they are cooked evenly.
Tips
- Spices: Don’t limit yourself to just black pepper. Use different peppers for a sweeter and more balanced taste, add onion or garlic powder and oregano and enjoy the result.
- Serving suggestions: Roasted peppers are very enjoyable eaten warm as a side dish with eggs, potatoes and meat dishes or at room temperature in salads, sandwiches or any other cold light meal.
- Variations of the basic recipe: Add white sweet onion (chopped) to the fryer or thinly slice a country sausage and roast it with the peppers. Serve with some feta cheese at the table and enjoy a delicious and quick full meal.
