- Watch the end : depending on your Air Fryer, adjust from 1–2 min to get the perfect texture, melting but still a little crunchy. Serve warm or chilled for a colorful salad 🥗.
FAQ — Air Fryer Peppers
Why choose the Air Fryer for peppers?
The Air Fryer cooks quickly and evenly without adding unnecessary oil. The peppers stay tender and lightly grilled, and you don't have to check on them every 2 minutes 🔥!
Should the skin be removed?
This isn't necessary: the skin becomes tender in the Air Fryer. For an extra tender texture, you can peel them after cooking if necessary. For stuffed peppers, leave the skin on so they hold together better.
Which peppers to choose?
Red for sweetness, yellow for mildness, green for pep. A mix makes the pan-fried dish even prettier and tastier 🌈. Discover our selection of fresh peppers here .
