Air Fryer Peppers And Onions
Tender yet slightly charred, these air fryer peppers and onions are the best! They come so fast that you can have a delicious side dish done in only 25 minutes (with only about 10 minutes of hands on time). Make these peppers and onions to go with fajitas or other Mexican dishes!
Ingredients
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 green bell pepper
- 1 yellow bell pepper
- 1 red onion
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp oregano
- 1/2 tsp chili powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Slice all the bell peppers into small strips. Slice the onion.
- In a large bowl, toss with olive oil, oregano, chili powder, garlic powder, pepper, and a little salt. Mix well (I like to use tongs).
- Add to your air fryer basket or tray.
- Cook at 360 degrees for 12-15 minutes, or until the peppers begin to char on the top. Stir halfway through if desired.
- Taste and add more salt and pepper as necessary.
- Serve right away! These are delicious as a healthy snack, or as a side dish with other Mexican recipes like fajitas!
Notes
- You can use any bell peppers you have on hand—no need to stick to the colors listed in the recipe!
- Meal prep instructions: cut up all the peppers and onions up to a week in advance from when you need them. Place them in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. When ready to use, season according to the recipe and cook!
- To make this into a main dish as chicken fajitas, use chicken tenderloins and cook right in the air fryer with the peppers and onions! You'll just want to add more seasoning on the chicken, and cook in 2 batches if necessary.
