Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 teaspoons sea salt
Fresh Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh banana peppers or sweet peppers, sliced and seeds removed
Others
- Olive oil spray
Instructions
- Prepare the Coating Mix: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, garlic powder, ground black pepper, and sea salt. Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute all the seasonings throughout the flour.
- Coat the Banana Peppers: Add the sliced and seeded banana peppers to the seasoned flour mixture. Toss gently until all pieces are fully coated with the flour mixture.
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Set the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to preheat for about 3-5 minutes to ensure even cooking.
- Arrange and Spray: Place the coated banana pepper slices in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Lightly spray the peppers with olive oil spray to promote crispiness and enhance browning.
- Air Fry the Pepper Coins: Cook the pepper coins for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to cook evenly. Continue air frying until the peppers are golden brown and crispy.
- Serve Warm: Remove from the air fryer and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy these crispy banana pepper coins as a delicious snack or side dish.
Notes
- Ensure banana peppers are thoroughly coated for optimal crispiness.
- Olive oil spray is preferred to keep the coating light and crispy without excess oil.
- Adjust air frying time if your air fryer model varies or if using different pepper sizes.
- Serve immediately for the best crunch, as they may soften over time.
