Make a delicious dinner in the Air Fryer with Air Fryer Stuffed Peppers!
Stuffed Peppers are a favorite in our household, especially during the summer. Why?
Because our garden is full of fresh bell peppers, perfect for making stuffed peppers.
If you prefer to make these in the oven, be sure to check out this post on How to Make Stuffed Peppers.

They are even easier to make when you make these Air Fryer Stuffed Peppers in minutes in the air fryer.
During the summer months, I try to utilize as many meals as possible with fresh produce, do you?
Our garden is just starting to produce some tasty produce, which led me to these Air Fryer Stuffed Peppers.
We have plenty of foods coming up and I’m anxious for more to come in as we head into July and August. Hopefully, we can keep it from drying out.
That’s the downside of Oklahoma summers, it gets so HOT, so quickly sometimes it just scorches the veggies!
This summer has been full for sure. We are now into a month in our summer with just about 8 weeks left to go. Honestly, it’s going by so quickly.
We’ve had so many activities.
It’s usually in July when things slow down for us, which is nice because then we have about a month to recover before school starts back up.
This year we are doing a staycation in July, so I’m still trying to figure out what we are going to do; however, staying at home and just swimming and relaxing it sounding like the best option.
Do you ever have times when as much as you’d love to go travel, you just want to stay home?
That’s basically how I feel right now.
I’d love to go to a beach…but honestly, I want to stay home and relax without having to do anything.
Although, even if we stay home I’m sure we will come up with a ton of projects to do because that’s just how we are! We can’t just sit still, I wish we could sometimes but it seems impossible.
Now, maybe being home will allow us some time to really work in the garden too.
I’m sure by the time our vacation rolls around we’ll have plenty growing, which means grilling all week long and lots of fresh veggies.
I am now using a Ninja Foodi Air Fryer; however, you can check out a variety of different air fryers in my post on, How to Choose the Right Air Fryer.

I just bought an air fryer and I can’t wait to make these! The only thing I’ve made so far is chicken wings and chicken thighs. These look so good I must try them!
Oh get ready, you are gonna fall in love with all the recipes you can make in it!
I tried the peppers an they were not cooked enough at10so I put them back in for another 5an that did it .Maybe thar happened because the peppers were big .
I had 3 small to medium peppers and it took 30 minutes at 370 to get them done. They were in a 6 quart air fryer so they definitely weren’t over crowded. Must say they were well worth the wait.
Wow! That’s amazing. I haven’t tried making such complex recipes in an air fryer. Can’t wait to try it!
I use mine all the time now. You’ll love it. 🙂
You don’t blanch the peppers first?
I do not, but if you prefer to, you can.
Loved them…. but, I wanted carb friendly so I used riced cauliflower instead of rice, husband couldn’t tell the difference!
I’m trying to do low carb too, that’s a great idea!! I’m going to try it too. 🙂
I used italian sausage instead of beef. Husband daid they were the best stuffed peppers he ever had
Yay! Glad to hear it, I love Italian Sausage too in these.
just did them in my airfryer and they turned out delicious. I did 360 degrees for 12 minutes, they were big peppers and they were just right
YAY! So glad to hear you enjoyed them.
I altered the ingredients a little by using ground turkey and diced fire roasted tomatoes with green chilis instead of the marinara, and the turned out amazing! Thanks for a great recipe!
Oh that’s a great idea! My husband would love those additions too.
This may be a silly question, but do I use the bake setting or the air fry setting?
You’ll use the air fryer setting for this one.
I first cooked empty peppers on 350 for 5 mins to partially cook, then stuffed and air fried @ 300 for 12 mins. Great.
I’m going to try pre cooking peppers next time. That’s a great idea.
So I had to tweak the recipe a little because I have a son with a cow milk allergy but I used some of the ingredients and added some and used the cook time of 350 because mine wouldn’t do 355 and they were absolutely wonderful!
Thank you
Love it Absolutely delicious
