Ingredients

  • 3 medium bell peppers (red, yellow, green)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast

Method

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 200°C (400°F).
  2. Slice the bell peppers into strips, removing the seeds and stems.
  3. In a bowl, toss the bell pepper strips with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  4. Place the seasoned bell pepper strips in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
  5. Cook for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until crispy and tender.
  6. Remove from the air fryer and enjoy warm. Sprinkle with nutritional yeast if desired.

Pro tips for maximum crisp

  • For extra crispiness, make sure the bell pepper strips are not overcrowded in the air fryer.
  • Store leftover strips in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat in the air fryer to regain crispiness.
  • Feel free to experiment with different spices or add a dash of cayenne for some heat!
