Notes

  • Choose peppers with a flattish bottom so that they stand up during air frying. If you find your peppers are not standing nice, you can make tin foil nests for them.
  • Choose similar-sized peppers so they air fry at the same rate.
  • Don't overcrowd the Air Fryer so that air circulates and the food crisps up and cooks evenly. Make sure to leave space between each pepper.
  • Depending on the size of the peppers, you may have some filling left, for which you can just stuff another pepper.
  • Storage - keep stuffed peppers in an airtight container inside the fridge for 4 days.
