Make delicious stuffed peppers right in your air fryer! This recipe is perfect for when you want a comforting meal without turning on your oven. Jacob makes this simple plan a flavorful reality.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium bell peppers (any color)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 pound ground beef or ground turkey
  • 1 cup cooked rice
  • 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce, divided
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cut the bell peppers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes. Lightly brush the inside of the peppers with a little olive oil.
  2. Heat the remaining olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until soft, about 3 minutes.
  3. Add the ground meat to the skillet. Cook, breaking it up, until browned. Drain off any excess fat.
  4. Stir in the cooked rice, half of the tomato sauce (about 1/2 cup), oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  5. Spoon the meat and rice mixture evenly into the bell pepper halves.
  6. Place the stuffed peppers in the air fryer basket in a single layer. You may need to cook in batches.
  7. Drizzle the tops of the peppers with the remaining tomato sauce.
  8. Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the peppers are tender.
  9. If using cheese, sprinkle mozzarella over the tops during the last 2 minutes of cooking.
  10. Carefully remove from the air fryer and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use brown rice for added fiber.
  • You can substitute ground turkey for ground beef for a lighter option.
  • If your peppers are very large, you might need to increase the cooking time slightly.
  • This recipe works well for meal prepping; simply reheat in the air fryer.
