Notes

What makes air fryer stuffed peppers stand out? Speed and convenience.
The filling can be customized to fit your tastes. A classic version includes ground beef or turkey, cooked rice, diced tomatoes, garlic, onions, and spices for a rich and comforting flavor. Want a low-carb option? Swap the rice for cauliflower rice. Prefer a vegetarian version? Go for a mix of black beans, quinoa, and veggies for a hearty and satisfying alternative.
