Notes
Extra Tips
- If you are cooking in larger quantities, it may take more time.
- Never overcrowd the air fryer basket with peppers. They may take even longer since all will not get equal heat and may turn soggy with moisture too.
- If cooking for a large family, make it in batches rather than for even and fast cooking.
- Every air fryer is different. So expect 2 - 3 minutes of variation from the said timing. Keep an eye on them after the 8-minute mark. Air frying longer may result in burnt peppers.
