I simply love these little sweet peppers. I always buy them in a bag from Trader Joe’s. So bright and beautiful, they are instant mood boosters.
They are great for snacking especially with hummus. I add them in salads and other dinner recipes, and of course love them for stuffing recipes.
The mini bell peppers are excellent for stuffing. They hold their shape well and the flavor is subtle enough to go well with just about anything.
These peppers have a bit of sweet crunch when eaten raw. They cook quickly and soften up nicely. I love them slightly charred.
We use shredded Pepper Jack cheese for stuffing. It adds tad bit spicy taste. But feel free to swap in any other melty cheese that you have on hand.
The beauty of this recipe is that it is adaptable to your taste and preferences. This is our classic recipe—once you master it, feel free to start experimenting
- Swap for jalapeno or sweet banana peppers

Taco Seasoning
Pepper Jack Cheese
Fresh Garlic

HOW TO MAKE THIS RECIPE :
Boil the potatoes. Peel and mash them smooth
Wash the peppers and pat dry them using paper towel. Using a knife, slit top side of each pepper lengthwise. I leave the stem.
If there are some seeds and membranes – remove those with your fingers or with a paring knife.
In a mixing bowl, add mashed potatoes, minced garlic, cheese, taco seasoning, and salt. Mix the stuffing nicely.
Using a spoon, fill each pepper cavity with the stuffing.
Lightly spray some oil over the stuffed peppers. Arrange them in single layer on air fryer basket or baking sheet. Don’t over crowd.
