Instructions

  1. Wash the peppers and pat dry with a lint-free towel. Optional step: use a skewer to poke a small hole in each pepper (this isn't necessary but may prevent the peppers from splitting open during cooking).
  2. Place peppers in a large bowl, and use your hands to toss with oil. Sprinkle with a generous pinch of salt.
  3. Preheat the air fryer to 380 degrees. Arrange peppers in a single layer in air fryer, working in batches if needed. Cook for about 7 minutes, shaking/tossing the peppers at the halfway point. In a small bowl, combine the sauce ingredients, if using.
  4. When done the peppers will be tender and browned in some areas. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Nutrition estimate does not include the sauce.
  • Store leftover peppers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Enjoy them cold straight from the fridge or reheated in the microwave or air fryer. Freezing not recommended.
