Air Fryer Padron Peppers
Air fryer padron peppers are an easy and delicious appetizer. They cook up in less than 10 minutes in the air fryer.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 8 ounces padron peppers
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- salt
- ½ lemon optional
Instructions
- Wash and dry peppers. Add the padron peppers and olive oil to a bowl. Toss together until peppers are coated in olive oil.
- Add padron peppers to air fryer basket. Air fry at 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) for 5-7 minutes, shaking several times during cooking.
- Remove from the air fryer basket, plate, and sprinkle with salt. Serve with lemon or dipping saue if desired.
Notes
- Start checking for doneness at the 5 minute mark. To retain some of the "bite" of the peppers, remove at 5 minutes. Otherwise, you can continue cooking until 7 minutes for softer, more roasted padron peppers.
- You do not need to preheat the air fryer prior to adding the peppers for this recipe.
- All air fryers cook differently. Adjust cooking times as needed.
