Can this work for regular peppers?

Since we are looking for this to be more of a snack or appetizer, I would not use the large regular peppers.

Plus, you would have to use so much cream cheese. They are better used as a meal like our stuffed bell peppers dinner recipe.

Ways to change up this recipe

This is such a great recipe because you can change it and mold it to what you like. A few options are:

Change the flavor of the cream cheese spread – garden vegetable would be a good option!
Mix in some hot sauce to the cream cheese before filling the peppers
Add in some chopped spinach to the cream cheese
Pick a different seasoning to top the peppers with
Brown some sausage to mix with the cream cheese

How to Make Air Fryer Stuffed Mini Peppers:

Step 1: Prepare the peppers

Wash the peppers and cut them in half lengthwise. Then, remove the seeds from the inside of the pepper. Pat the peppers dry with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture.

Step 2: Fill the peppers

Fill the peppers with the cream cheese spread, about 1-2 spoonfuls of cream cheese, although this depends on the size of each pepper and how much cream cheese you like.

I like to use enough cream cheese until it filled completely.

Step 3: Season and bake the peppers

After the peppers have been filled, place them in the air fryer basket and sprinkle each pepper with Everything But the Bagel seasoning on top to your taste.

Then, turn on the air fryer for 8 minutes at 380 degrees F or 193 degrees C or until the pepper is cooked to your liking.

Remove the peppers from the air fryer and enjoy!

Now time for dessert!

You can’t have a party without some dessert! Once you have your appetizer made, give these easy dinner recipes a shot and serve them to all your friends and family.
