Hello, I’m trying to replace the power cord of an air fryer and there are these white caps that connect each leads. I would like to know if they can be removed without being destroyed, I quickly tried with flat pliers but it did no budge.

those look like crimp-on wire connectors. You’ll have to cut the wires and get new ones or solder the wires together and heat shrink the connection.
I would not recommend a twist on wire nut in something that could be conceivably drenched, washed, or jostled enough that it could be knocked loose, nor would I recommend twisting them together and wrapping them with electrical tape in something that can get warm enough to possibly melt the glue.
The yellow/green color scheme almost always indicates a grounding wire. (And the ground symbol molded into the plastic behind it seems to confirm that.) Unless something has already gone terribly wrong, there shouldn’t be much power at all flowing through this wire, so it shouldn’t get hot.
Well, it’s an air fryer and there are other cables near it that look to be wrapped in heat resistant sleeves, so I’d err on the side of caution.
