# Instructions:

02 - Set the air fryer to 350° F and allow it to preheat fully before use.
03 - Evenly dip the sliced banana peppers into the seasoned flour mixture, ensuring full coverage. Leave them to rest for 5 minutes to develop a thick coating.
04 - Arrange the coated banana peppers in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Spray both sides thoroughly with olive oil spray.
05 - Air fry peppers at 350° F for 8 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.
06 - Transfer fried banana peppers onto a baking sheet lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil. Cool for 5 minutes before serving.

# Notes:

01 - Ensure the banana peppers are spread in a single layer within the air fryer to guarantee even crisping and proper air circulation.
