Description
Crispy and golden brown air fryer banana peppers make a quick and easy snack or appetizer, perfect for dipping or topping salads and pizzas.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 teaspoons sea salt
- 1 pound fresh banana peppers or sweet peppers, sliced and seeds removed
- Olive oil spray
Instructions
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the flour, garlic powder, ground black pepper, and sea salt.
- Dip the sliced banana peppers into the seasoned flour, ensuring they’re well-coated. Let them sit for 5 minutes to help the coating adhere.
- Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
- Place the coated banana peppers in the air fryer basket in a single layer and spray with olive oil on both sides.
- Air fry for 8 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
- Transfer to a baking sheet lined with paper towels to remove excess oil. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Letting the coated peppers rest before air frying helps the coating stick better.
- Try using mini bell peppers for a milder flavor.
- Great with ranch dressing, spicy mayo, or garlic aioli.
- Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top before air frying for extra flavor.
