Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 200°C. Cut the onion and both peppers into rough 2 cm chunks.

- Toss everything together in the basket until the chips and vegetables are evenly coated in the oil and spices.
- Cook for 15 minutes, shaking the basket once or twice, until the chips are deep golden and crisp at the edges and the peppers have softened with blistered, slightly charred patches.
- Tip into a serving bowl or onto a plate, toss once more to redistribute the seasoning, then scatter over the sliced spring onion and serve immediately.Spring onion
Notes
- Don't overcrowd the basket. Crowded chips steam rather than crisp, so cook in two batches if you need to and combine at the end.
- All air fryers run differently. Use the timing as a guide and go by colour and texture rather than the clock.
