- 1 can of anchovy fillets (drained and finely chopped)
- 1 clove of garlic (crushed)
- 2 tablespoons of capers (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons of fresh parsley (chopped)

Preparation:

1. Preparing the peppers:
- Start by preheating the AirFryer to 220 °C. This step is essential for ensuring even cooking of the peppers.
- Place the bell peppers in the fryer basket and insert it into the AirFryer. Set the timer for 10 minutes and let the peppers bake until the skin is slightly charred. This will add a delicious flavor and a pleasant texture.

2. Cooling the peppers:
- After baking, remove the peppers from the AirFryer and place them in a bowl. Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and let them cool for 15 minutes. This step will make the skin easier to peel off.

3. Preparing the rolls:
- Once the peppers have cooled, cut them in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds and carefully peel them.
- Choose your favorite filling from those mentioned above and place it on top of each pepper half. Roll the peppers starting from the narrowest end; we encourage you to do this carefully so that the roll remains compact.
- Secure the rolls with appetizer forks and place them on a platter.

4. Serving:
- These roasted pepper rolls can be served warm or cold, and they pair excellently with a fresh salad or a yogurt dip with herbs. You can even drizzle some extra virgin olive oil for added flavor.

Useful tips:
- Use bell peppers of different colors to make the platter even more appealing.
- Experiment with various fillings! For example, you can add olives, goat cheese, or even marinated vegetables.
- If you don’t have an AirFryer, you can roast the peppers in the oven at 220 °C on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Nutritional benefits:
Bell peppers are an excellent source of vitamins A and C, being rich in antioxidants. Additionally, fish or cheese-based fillings provide valuable proteins and essential fatty acids, contributing to a healthy diet.
