07 -
2 teaspoons of avocado oil
08 -
1 pack mini sweet peppers (grab 14), sliced in half with the seeds taken out
# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
Toss the cream cheese, grated cheese, chopped green onions, some garlic powder, salt, and a bit of sriracha (if that's your jam) in a bowl. Stir everything up with a spoon or use a hand mixer if you want it really smooth.
02 -
Chop just the tops off your little peppers, then cut them the long way. Scoop out those seeds.
03 -
Pour some avocado oil on the sliced peppers. Toss them around with your hands so they're all a little shiny.
04 -
Take your filling and pack it right into each half of pepper. Don’t be stingy!
05 -
Lay the stuffed peppers out in one layer inside your air fryer basket. Let them bake at 360°F (or 182°C) for 8 minutes. If you've got more peppers, just repeat until they're all done.
06 -
When they’re done, carefully pull the hot peppers from the air fryer and put them on a plate. Enjoy while they’re still warm.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Letting cream cheese warm up on the counter makes it much easier to mix and helps everything come together nice and creamy.
