times and we&rsquo;ve come up with a few tips that will ensure your recipe turns out every time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Reuse extra filling<\/strong> for meal prep, more peppers later in the week, or as a pasta topping. Peppers vary in size, so you may have some extra!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Size and shape: <\/strong>Look for peppers that are roughly the same size so they cook evenly. Additionally, look for peppers with an even bottom so they aren&rsquo;t wobbly. The hot air needs to circulate around them so they shouldn&rsquo;t lean on each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Slice the peppers:<\/strong> Put your knife skills to good use if you know <a href=\"https:\/\/whatmollymade.com\/web-stories\/how-to-cut-a-bell-pepper-4-ways\/\">how to cut a bell pepper<\/a>, and save the extra tops to put in the filling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Shred the cheese yourself:<\/strong> Pre-shredded cheese usually contains chemicals to prevent it from melting, which is what we want!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Preheat the air fryer, just like you would an oven, for even cooking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Use a <strong>quality air fryer<\/strong> that has enough room for the peppers! I use the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3xdOhay\">Ninja Foodi duel basket air fryer<\/a>.  <\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-senary-background-color has-background is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-to-serve-with-stuffed-peppers\">What to Serve with Stuffed Peppers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Enjoy this recipe on its own or serve it with side dishes salad or more veggies like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li> <a href=\"https:\/\/whatmollymade.com\/brussel-sprouts-and-butternut-squash\/\">Roasted brussels sprouts<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sweet potato fries<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/whatmollymade.com\/air-fryer-smashed-potatoes\/\">Air fryer smashed potatoes<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/whatmollymade.com\/kale-salad-with-goat-cheese\/\">Kale and goat cheese salad<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1536\" src=\"https:\/\/whatmollymade.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/airfryerstuffedpeppers16.jpg\" alt=\"air fryer stuffed peppers topped with cheese in the air fryer basker.\" class=\"wp-image-64465\" srcset=\"https:\/\/whatmollymade.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/airfryerstuffedpeppers16.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/whatmollymade.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/airfryerstuffedpeppers16-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/whatmollymade.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/airfryerstuffedpeppers16-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/whatmollymade.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/airfryerstuffedpeppers16-333x500.jpg 333w, https:\/\/whatmollymade.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/airfryerstuffedpeppers16-400x600.jpg 400w, https:\/\/whatmollymade.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/airfryerstuffedpeppers16-150x225.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/whatmollymade.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/airfryerstuffedpeppers16.jpg\"><\/figure>\n\n\n<div class=\"block-outline-tip cwp-inner\">\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading block-outline-tip__title\" id=\"h-recipe-variations\">Recipe Variations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Low carb: <\/strong>Swap the rice with cauliflower rice!
