Ingredients:
- 4 red bell peppers
- 1-2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions:
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
- Prepare the Peppers:
- Wash and dry the red bell peppers.
- Cut the peppers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes.
- Season the Peppers:
- Brush the pepper halves with olive oil on both sides.
- Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Air Fry the Peppers:
- Place the peppers in the air fryer basket in a single layer, skin side up.
- Cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the skins are charred and the peppers are tender. You may need to cook in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
- Cool and Peel:
- Once cooked, transfer the peppers to a bowl and cover with a plate or plastic wrap to let them steam for about 10 minutes. This makes peeling the skins easier.
- After steaming, peel off the skins. They should come off easily.
- Serve or Store:
- You can serve the roasted red peppers immediately, or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
- They can be used in salads, sandwiches, pasta dishes, or as a side dish.
