Instructions

  • Slice the bell peppers in half lengthwise and discard seeds & ribs. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, stir together cream cheese, cheddar cheese, walnuts and jalapeño until combined.
  • Spoon the mixture into the bell pepper halves and transfer to the basket of the air fryer.
  • Air fry for 7-15 minutes depending on how browned you want the cheese.
  • Serve hot or room temperature. Enjoy!

Notes

*Depending on the size of the peppers, this makes between 24-48 bell pepper halves. One serving is ⅛ of the recipe.
*Feel free to omit the jalapeño for a mild stuffed baby pepper.
*You can also add 1 teaspoon of chopped fresh herbs like basil, parsley, cilantro, or thyme.
*If you don't have a jalapeño, you can substitute with 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes or ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper in a pinch. Taste the mixture and add more if needed.
*One baby bell pepper is about one ounce, so you'll need around 16 baby bell peppers.
