Equipment
- air fryer
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 1 lb. ground beef
- 1 lb. mini bell peppers cut in half lengthwise, seeded
- 8 ounces cheese shredded
- salt and black pepper to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Slice the peppers lengthwise, then remove the stems and seeds.
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F. Spray an air fryer liner with a cooking spray. Or use some parchment paper.
- Arrange the peppers in a single layer on the air fryer liner. Cook them in the air fryer for 5-10 minutes.
- In the meantime, in a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef and cook it through.
- Season well with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
- Add in your optional fillings at this point. (see notes above for filling suggestions)
- Add the ground meat mixture to each mini sweet pepper.
- Top with the shredded cheese.
- Put them back in the air fryer for another 5-8 minutes until the cheese is nicely melted and golden brown.
- Alternatively, you can cook your mini pepper nachos in the oven instead. Broil them on high for 3 minutes. This will also allow the cheese to melt and brown a bit.
- Remove from the air fryer and garnish with your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
