Main Ingredients

  • 4 large bell peppers any color, halved and seeded
  • 1 lb ground beef lean
  • 1 cup cooked rice or quinoa
  • 1 cup marinara sauce divided
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese divided
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning or dried oregano
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your air fryer to 370°F (185°C). In a bowl, combine ground beef, cooked rice, 1/2 cup marinara sauce, Italian seasoning, and half the mozzarella cheese.
  • Brush the inside of the bell pepper halves with olive oil. Spoon the beef and rice mixture evenly into each pepper half.
  • Place the stuffed peppers in the air fryer basket, ensuring they don't touch. Air fry for 12-14 minutes, until the peppers are tender and the filling is cooked through.
  • Top with remaining marinara sauce and cheese. Air fry for an additional 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Let rest for 2 minutes before serving. Enjoy your crispy, juicy stuffed peppers.
