Getting Started
- **Even Cooking**: Cut bell peppers into uniform pieces, about 1-inch thick, for consistent cooking. Air fry at 375°F (190°C) and shake the basket every 5-7 minutes to ensure even browning.
- **Prevent Sticking**: Lightly toss bell peppers with 1-2 teaspoons of high-smoke point oil (avocado, light olive oil) before air frying. This also aids browning and prevents sticking to the basket.
- **Cross-Contamination**: If your air fryer has been used for gluten-containing foods, clean it thoroughly. For extra precaution when preparing GF meals, consider using parchment paper liners or a dedicated basket.
- **Filling for Stuffed Peppers**: Opt for gluten-free grains like quinoa or brown rice, or use extra lean ground meat mixed with vegetables and herbs to keep fillings compliant and moist. Avoid breadcrumbs unless certified gluten-free.
