Getting Started

Avoid Overcrowding: Air fryers work by circulating hot air. Overfilling the basket traps moisture and steams vegetables instead of crisping them. Cook in batches for optimal char.
Uniform Cuts: For even cooking, cut bell peppers into pieces of similar size and thickness. This ensures consistent texture—tender, not mushy or raw in spots.
Oil Sparingly: A light toss with olive oil or avocado oil (1-2 teaspoons per bell pepper) is sufficient. Too much oil can lead to greasy results and smoke.
High Heat, Shorter Time: Most bell pepper recipes do well at 375-400°F (190-200°C) for 10-20 minutes, depending on the cut and desired tenderness. Shake the basket halfway through.
