Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 red bell peppers
  • 1 Tbsp. olive oil
  • ¼ tsp. salt

Instructions

  1. Slice ½” to the right or left of the stem from top to bottom to remove 4 pieces, leaving the core intact. Scrape out and discard any membranes or seeds. Repeat with the other bell pepper pepper.
    2 red bell peppers
  2. Drizzle the inside of the pieces with 1 tablespoon oil and sprinkle with ¼ teaspoon salt. Place pepper pieces skin-side up in the preheated air fryer basket and cook for 14-15 minutes, or until the skin is blistered.
    1 Tbsp. olive oil, ¼ tsp. salt
  3. Once cooked, add peppers to a large bowl and then cover with either plastic wrap or a plate to allow the steam to finish cooking them. Wait 10-15 minutes, or until the peppers are cool enough to touch. Once cooled, peel and remove the skin from each piece of pepper.
  4. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week or use in your favorite recipes immediately.

Notes

  • Storage: After cooking, you can keep roasted red peppers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
