Air Fryer Roasted stuffed peppers

April 30, 2021 by Irina Leave a Comment

Today’s deliciousness is Air Fryer Roasted stuffed peppers.

Air Fryer Roasted Stuffed Peppers

I love to cook stuffed peppers. It’s one of the most popular dishes in my house, both for casual cooking and for any festive table. I love how the naturally bright-colored sweet Bell peppers allow me to create a truly culinary festive masterpiece for my family and for my guests.

I used to cook stuffed peppers on the stove or in the oven, but today I will offer you to cook this dish in a wonderful kitchen assistant - an air fryer. I came up with the new easy method that I loved which I’m going to share here today. The whole process takes under 20 minutes.

Air Fryer Roasted Stuffed peppers

Air Fryer Roasted stuffed peppers Ingredients:
4 Bell peppers
1 pound ground meat of choice. I used turkey ground meat.
1 large onion, chopped
1 Tablespoon ketchup or tomato paste (optional) or to taste.
½ teaspoon salt or to taste
¼ teaspoon fresh ground pepper or to taste
1 Tablespoon olive oil (I also love to use avocado oil.
½ teaspoon Favorite seasoning of choice. I use this Roast Veggie and fries spice blend. 
½ cup shredded cheese. I use a mixture of Mozarella and Cheddar.
1 Tablespoon Fresh chopped parsley for garnish

Directions:
Rinse the peppers, cut off the tops (do not throw them away! You can cook them too). Remove the seeds and rinse inside.
Using the food brush, lightly brush the outside of peppers with oil
Set the air fryer to 400F/200C. Arrange peppers bottoms side up in the air fryer basket or tray and cook for 10 minutes, flipping them halfway. Or until the caramelized golden brown edges and slightly wrinkly skin. Note: If using an oven-type air fryer, set the tray with peppers to the bottom shelf.
While the peppers are cooking, let’s prepare the meat.
Add oil into a frying pan. Over medium heat add chopped onions and fry until translucent (about 10 minutes), then add ground meat. Breaking the meat lumps with a wooden fork or spatula. Add salt, ground pepper, tomato paste, and spices. Fry for 5-7 minutes over medium heat until the meat is no longer pink and cooked.
Drain the liquid if any.
Now the meat is done and it’s ready for stuffing the peppers.
Using the spoon, stuff the cooked peppers with meat. I like to stuff them loosely until about ¾ inch to the top.
Put stuffed peppers back into air fryer basket or tray (open side up). If using an oven-type air fryer, set the tray with peppers to the bottom shelf.
Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top of peppers and fry at 375F for 2 minutes or until cheese is melted.
Stuffed peppers are ready to eat. Sprinkle them with fresh finely chopped parsley and enjoy!

Look at that beautifully caramelized edges and deliciously wrinkly skin! By the way, the skin is easily removable if you prefer not to eat the skin.

Bon Appétit! Enjoy this nutricious and vibrant dish that is healthy, filling, low in carbs, making Bell peppers a great veggie to add to your keto meal plan.
