Ingredients
- 3 bell peppers seeded and cut lengthwise into 1/2-inch slices; I used one each of red, yellow, and green bell peppers.
- 1 red onion peeled and cut lengthwise into 1/2-inch slices
- 1 1/2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper freshly crushed
- 1/2 teaspoon oregano
- 1/2 lime juiced
- cilantro leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 380°F.
- Add the pepper and onion slices to a large bowl and add the oil, salt, garlic, cumin, paprika, black pepper and oregano. Toss until well combined.
- Place the peppers and onions in the air fryer basket in a single layer as much as possible and air fry at 380°F for 8-10 minutes or until fork tender and beginning to char.
- Remove the basket at the mid-way point and shake or stir the peppers and onions to ensure they cook evenly.
- Add a sprinkle of lime juice. You can also garnish with some cilantro leaves. Serve immediately.

Notes
- Add veggies or protein to the fajitas:
- Frozen Fajita Veggies: If you're using frozen fajita veggies, there's no need to thaw them. Just add a minute or two to the cooking time. Keep in mind that frozen veggies may release more moisture, so they won’t be as crisp as fresh ones.
- Halloumi: This firm cheese adds a delicious salty bite to the fajitas.
- Mushrooms: Earthy and meaty, they soak up flavors beautifully.
- Tofu or Paneer: A great protein option! Use extra firm tofu or paneer cut into strips.
