Wash the peppers, dry them, and remove the stem, seeds, and white inner membranes
2
Cut the peppers into strips that are not too small, all the same size for even cooking
3
Place the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, chopped garlic, parsley, salt, and black pepper in a bowl and mix well
4
Add the peppers to the bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and mix well with your hands so the breadcrumb mixture sticks to the peppers
5
Arrange the peppers in the air fryer basket without overlapping them so the air can circulate, then drizzle with a little olive oil
6
Cook at 180°C for 20–22 minutes, increasing the temperature to 200°C for the last two minutes to create a golden crust
Storage
Store the breaded peppers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Before serving, reheat them in the air fryer for a few minutes to restore their crispiness.
Cost
This recipe is based on seasonal vegetables as the main ingredient, making it very affordable. The limited use of cheese and premium seasonings keeps the overall cost per serving low
Health
