Ingredients
PEPPERS: Bell peppers come in a variety of colors. The color does affect the taste slightly.
-
- Green peppers are the peppers that have been picked before reaching their ultimate ripeness, they tend to be a little more bitter than the other colors.
- Red in the ripest and the sweetest. They have a lot more beta carotene and vitamin C than the other peppers.
- Orange and Yellow fall somewhere in between. Not too sweet and not too bitter!
Regardless of the color, pick peppers that have smooth skin without blemishes. Wrinkled skin is a sign that the pepper is getting a little on in age.
SEASONING: This recipe keeps it simple with olive oil and salt and pepper to taste which leaves lots of room to get creative!
If using them for a specific recipe, add seasonings that compliment it. If enjoying as a snack, try seasoning with lemon pepper seasoning or some red chili flakes for a spicy version. Or try this extra crispy version made with flour!

When using Vortex Pro, what level do you use for roasting the peppers?
Hi Barbara, on the Vortex Pro I would insert the tray into the middle position and use either the Air Fry or Bake setting. Adjust the temperature to 360°F and cook for 8-10 minutes. Hope that helps!
