STUFFED MINI SWEET PEPPERS CREAM CHEESE RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat an air fryer to 350°F. Cut a slit down the length of each bell pepper, from the stem to the tip. Coat the bell peppers with cooking spray. Add the bell peppers to the air-fryer basket and cook in the air fryer for 5 minutes. Shake the basket and continue to cook for 3 minutes more. Transfer the bell peppers to a cutting board or work surface and let cool.
• Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine the cheeses, yogurt, parsley, dill, salt, black pepper, and garlic.
• Stuff about 2 tsp of the filling into each bell pepper through the slit. Arrange the peppers in the air-fryer basket in a single layer. (It’s OK if they’re crowded.) Return the basket to the air fryer and cook until the stuffed peppers are tender and the filling is lightly browned on top, 4 to 5 minutes.
