• Make them Vegan - You can easily make these air-fried stuffed peppers vegan by either omitting the cheese or using a dairy-free cheese.
• Add Extra Protein - Add more protein to the stuffed peppers to make them more filling. You can increase the bean measurement or add in a second type of bean. If you eat meat, you can add in cooked ground beef.
• Melty Cheese Tip: Do not add the cheese until the peppers have cooked all the way or you risk it becoming a melted burnt cheese mess. Trust me on this one!
