Air Fryer Cheese Peppers (Printable Version)
# What You'll Need:
→ Filling
01 -
1 teaspoon sriracha if you want it spicy
02 -
1/2 teaspoon salt
03 -
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
04 -
2 stalks green onion finely chopped up
05 -
2/3 cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar
06 -
1 (8-ounce) block cream cheese softened
→ Peppers
07 -
2 teaspoons avocado oil
08 -
1 bag mini sweet peppers (about 14), cut in half and seeded
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Take the hot peppers out of the air fryer and set them on a plate. They're best eaten now, while they're still warm.
02 -
Put the stuffed peppers in the air fryer basket so they're in one layer. Bake at 360°F (182°C) for 8 minutes. Keep going with any extras in another batch.
03 -
Use a spoon to pack the cheesy mix into every pepper half. Don't worry if it gets a little messy.
04 -
Pour the avocado oil over the cut peppers and toss them around with your hands so they all get a little bit shiny.
05 -
Chop the tops off the peppers, slice them lengthwise, and dig out all the seeds so they're ready for stuffing.
06 -
Toss cream cheese, green onions, cheese, garlic powder, salt, and sriracha (if you like spice) in a big bowl. Stir or beat until it's all smooth.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
Letting cream cheese sit out gets it soft, so it'll mix smoothly and make your filling less lumpy.
