Stuffed peppers are a classic family meal—and they're fun to eat, too. Instead of roasting the sweet peppers in the oven, use an air fryer to get them crisp-tender but not soggy.

Ingredients

¼ cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese (1 oz.)
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (1 oz.)
¼ tsp. ground pepper
3 tsp. finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
¾ cup low-sodium marinara sauce
¼ cup panko breadcrumbs
½ cup cooked brown rice
12 oz. ground turkey
1 tbsp. olive oil
3 medium red bell peppers

Method

01

Coat the basket of an air fryer with cooking spray. Cut tops off peppers and reserve. Seed the peppers and set aside.
02

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add turkey; cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, about 4 minutes. Stir in rice and panko; cook, stirring occasionally until warmed through, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in marinara, parsley, pepper, and Parmesan. Divide the mixture evenly among the prepared peppers.
03

Place the peppers in the prepared air-fryer basket. Nestle the pepper tops at the bottom of the basket. Cook at 350°F until the peppers are tender, about 8 minutes. Top with mozzarella; cook until the cheese is melted, about 2 minutes more.
