Air Fryer Peppers and Mushrooms
Air Fryer Peppers and Mushrooms is a delicious and colorful side dish that adds flavor, sizzle, and crunch to your dinner routine. This veggie dish is so versatile – from topping your skirt steak to jazzing up your Air Fryer Cheesesteak Melt – it’s my favorite whip-up meal in minutes with an air fryer.
Equipment:
Air Fryer 6-in1
Ingredients and Instructions:
2 Bell peppers I used green and red Bell peppers for this recipe. And two small Jalapenos.
8 oz Mushrooms Baby bella, Shitake or white button mushrooms.
1 Onion Vidalia onions, yellow or red onions. I love adding onions for an extra kick of flavor! Their crisp, sweet taste enhances the savory notes of the peppers and mushrooms and makes the overall dish truly delectable. Plus, when cooked together, the colors are visually tantalizing and lend a real depth of flavor in one bite.
1 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive oil. Use 1 Tablespoon of Avocado oil or Extra Virgin Olive oil.
½ teaspoon Salt and pepper to taste salt and pepper, to taste
1 teaspoon Seasoning Seasoning of choice. I used half a teaspoon of Vegeta All-purpose seasoning.
Recipe Tips and Variations
Use fresh, firm bell peppers and mushrooms that are in season. Avoid over-ripe vegetables, as they may become mushy and won’t hold their shape when air-fried.
Ensure that peppers and mushrooms are cut into evenly-sized pieces (1-inch slices) so that they cook evenly.
Don’t overcrowd the basket. Allow the vegetables to have space to cook evenly.
To change things up:
Sprinkle some Parmesan cheese over mushrooms and peppers for an extra savory kick.
Make them spicy: Add smoked paprika, a little chili powder, or cayenne pepper.
