Getting Started

  • Always pat capers very dry with paper towels before air frying to achieve maximum crispness. Excess moisture will steam them instead of frying.
  • For even crisping, spread capers in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Overcrowding leads to uneven cooking and less desirable texture.
  • A light toss with olive oil (1-2 teaspoons per 1/4 cup capers) helps them crisp and prevents sticking. No need for heavy breading, keeping them naturally gluten-free.
  • Air fry capers at 375°F (190°C) for 6-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through. Watch carefully as they can burn quickly once they begin to crisp.
