Ingredients

6 large bell peppers
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion diced
3 cloves garlic minced
14 ounces ground beef
1 3/4 cups cooked rice
14 ounces canned tomatoes diced
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon thyme
1 teaspoon parsley
1 1/4 cups mozzarella cheese shredded

Instructions

Preheat the air fryer to 190C/375F.
Cut off the tops from peppers, clean the insides, and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat oil and saute onions and garlic until translucent. Add the ground beef and cook until no longer pink. Add the cooked rice, salt, pepper, chili powder, paprika, thyme, parsley, and tomatoes, and cook until the mixture starts boiling.
Scoop the mixture into the peppers, filling them just to the top.
Place the filled peppers in the air fryer basket and air fry for 15 minutes. Add the shredded cheese and air fry for another two minutes, until the cheese is melted.
