Step 1

If you don't have rice that is already cooked, cook your rice first according to packaging directions.

Step 2

Wash the bell peppers and dry them. Then cut the tops off and remove the inner (known as the placenta) and the seeds.

Step 3

Finely chop the onion.

Step 4

Now, heat one teaspoon of oil in a large pan. Add the onions and sauté them on medium-high heat for around 5 minutes until translucent.

Step 5

Add the ground beef into the pan, break it up to avoid large chunks, and cook it until it's no longer pink.

Step 6

Turn down the heat to low and add the cooked rice, tomato sauce, fine herbs/Italian seasoning, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper. Stir everything until it is well mixed. Now turn off the stove.

Step 7

Preheat the air fryer to 360 degrees Fahrenheit.

Step 8

Stuff the bell peppers with the meat-rice filling using a spoon. Depending on the size of the bell peppers, you might not be able to use all of the filling (it tastes delicious on its own). Don't overstuff the bell peppers.

Step 9

When the air fryer is hot, add the stuffed peppers to the air fryer. Try standing them up, but if it doesn't work, they should be fine on their side if you stuffed them well enough.

Step 10

Cook the peppers for 9 (if you want them a touch firm) to 12 minutes (if you want them softer). Then sprinkle cheese on top and cook them for another 3-5 minutes or until they are done to your preference. It's best to stand them up for this part so that the cheese doesn't make a mess. Reminder: Every air fryer cooks differently. Also, the size of peppers can affect your cooking time - so your exact cook time can vary.

Step 11

When done, remove the cooked peppers from the air fryer (careful hot) and serve. You can sprinkle some chopped parsley on top if desired. Enjoy!
