Your peppers will be the ‘belle’ of the ball with this Air Fryer Peppers recipe, which provides a quick and easy way to add flavor and nutrition to almost any entree.

It wasn’t until I got an air fryer that I started to think of bell peppers as a dish that could be used for something other than a stir fry. I don’t know why; it just seems like, whenever I brainstormed a vegetable side dish for my meats, these colorful characters never came to mind.

Once I got an air fryer, though, and I started to scan every item at the grocery store and ask myself, Would this work? The possibility of the peppers popped up. The air fryer takes care of my sides and has made it possible for me to focus on my entrees. It’s a nice distribution of labor and takes some of the stress out of juggling numerous pots and pans.

What’s more, the peppers, thanks to their natural sweetness, provide so much flavor that I don’t need to spend very much time prepping them and garnishing them with powders and spices.

Want healthy and easy? It doesn’t get much better than this recipe.

Are Air Fryer Peppers Healthy?

Bell peppers are very healthy. Though the different colors vary in nutritional value, you’ll find they’re all low in calories and contain a multitude of vitamins, antioxidants, fiber and minerals. And cooking them in an air fryer usually means less oil. Given this is a simple recipe for a vegetable, you shouldn’t be surprised to learn they are suitable for most diets, including paleo, keto, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, Mediterranean, and whole30.

Does Bell-Pepper Color Matter?

In a word, yes. What separates green from yellow from orange from red is time and how far along they are in the ripening process. Green peppers aren’t fully ripe when they are harvested, which explains their slightly bitter taste. Yellow peppers are riper than green, though not as ripe as orange and red. They are softer than green peppers and sweeter. Orange peppers are riper than yellow, and bear a sweeter, almost fruity, taste. Red peppers are riper, sweeter (they have the highest sugar content), softer, and, in fact, more nutritious (they contain vitamin C and beta-carotene) than all the others.

Serving Suggestions

Peppers can go with so many entrees. Yes, you can follow my lead and use them as the basis for a stir fry, adding strips of steak to the equation, or you can cook an actual steak as the star on your plate.

How To

How to store cooking spices?

I'll show you how to store spices properly for best results. First, let's understand how foods are stored.

Because spices lose their flavour when exposed to the sun, they are best kept out of reach from light. This is because oxygen reacts with organic compounds like those in spices to cause oxidation.

To prevent oxidation, spices should be stored in dark cupboards. Spices will lose their flavour quickly if the conditions aren’t met.

It is the best way to preserve spices' flavours by keeping them out of direct sunlight.

You can flavor water by adding herbs and spices. To make a cinnamon-flavored drink, combine two teaspoons of ground ginger with half a cup of warm water. Stir and mix well. Add a squeeze or lemon juice to the mixture and serve immediately.

Dry herbs and spices can also be used in soups, stews or casseroles. Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly on the dish, and let it sit for five to ten minutes before you serve.

Leftover cooked vegetables, fruits and meats, as well as leftover cheese, breads, crackers, cookies or cakes can be added to favorite recipes for snacks.

You can enjoy the fresh flavours of fresh herbs or spices by chopping them up and adding them to food while they are still hot. You can also freeze spices and herbs by placing them in muffin cups or ice trays and freezing them. Transfer frozen items to zip-top or freezer bags.
