Ingredients
  

  • 2 red bell pepper
  • 4 garlic
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • ½ cup parsley
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon oregano
  • 1 lemon juiced
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • Salt to taste

Instructions
 

  • Slice the bell peppers into halves and remove the seeds and white. Rub them with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Air fry them until slightly charred.
  • Transfer the roasted peppers to a food processor along with the rest of the ingredients.
  • Blend until you get a slightly chunky sauce. Taste and adjust seasonings.
  • Transfer to a bowl and use immediately or store for later.

Notes

  • To make things quicker, I sometimes end up using my oven roasted Italian peppers.
  • If you don't have enough red bell pepper or just want to bulk up the sauce, consider using a tomato or two. I like to add my Air Fryer roasted tomatoes into the mix for some extra tangy and smoky flavor.
  • It's a good idea to use a small food processor or blender to make this sauce. A larger device may not chop up the bell peppers properly.
  • Got some extra bell peppers left? Use them up to make Air Fryer dehydrated bell peppers or a nice sweet pepper relish.
