Crispy air-fried banana pepper rings that are golden-brown and perfect as a snack or appetizer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb fresh banana peppers sliced (seeds removed if you prefer less heat)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • Olive oil spray or other high-heat cooking spray

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper until well combined.
  2. Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
  3. Pat the banana pepper slices thoroughly dry with a paper towel. Toss them in the seasoned flour until they are evenly coated on all sides.
  4. Let the coated peppers rest on a plate for about 5 minutes. This helps the coating adhere to the peppers.
  5. Arrange the coated banana peppers in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Do not overcrowd; cook in batches if necessary for the best results. Give the tops a generous spray with olive oil.
  6. Air fry for 8 minutes, or until golden-brown and crispy. You can check them around the 6-minute mark to ensure they don’t overcook.
  7. Carefully transfer the crispy peppers to a plate lined with a paper towel. Let them cool slightly before serving with your favorite dipping sauce, like Ranch dressing.

Notes

  • For less heat, ensure to remove the seeds from the banana peppers.
  • Serve immediately for the best texture.
  • Adjust the seasoning according to your taste.
