4. Spray with cooking oil. Lightly coat the wrapped chile rellenos with cooking spray. This helps achieve that golden, crispy exterior we’re aiming for.

5. Arrange in the air fryer. Place the chile rellenos in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they’re not touching to allow air circulation.
