Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your Air Fryer to 180°C (350°F) for about 5 minutes.
  2. Carefully slice the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. Rinse them under cold water.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine your choice of ground meat, cooked rice, and selected spices. Mix thoroughly until well incorporated.
  4. Stuff each prepared bell pepper with the meat mixture, pressing down lightly to pack it without overstuffing.
  5. If desired, sprinkle shredded cheese on top of each stuffed pepper.
  6. Place the stuffed peppers upright in the Air Fryer basket in a single layer.
  7. Cook the stuffed peppers in the Air Fryer for 12-15 minutes, until tender and the filling reaches an inner temperature of 75°C (165°F).
  8. Carefully remove the stuffed peppers and allow them to cool slightly before serving.
