Air Fryer Bell Peppers Time & Temp Guide (Sweet, Roasted & Fast)

By Airfryer Conversion Chart Culinary Team • Reviewed on 2025-08-15

Cooking bell peppers in the air fryer makes them tender, sweet, and lightly charred in a fraction of oven time.

In tests with the Ninja AF101, Cosori Pro II, and Instant Vortex Plus, the sweet spot was 375°F (190°C) for 8–10 minutes for sliced strips, and 10–12 minutes for halved peppers. For stuffed peppers, allow 14–18 minutes.

Frozen sliced peppers work well too — just add a few minutes and toss once during cooking.

Pro tip: Don’t overcrowd the basket. Spread peppers in a single layer for even caramelization. Perfect for fajitas, pasta dishes, or meal-prep sides.
