Air fryer stuffed peppers with Beyond Meat sausage & rice

Step 1

Bring a large skillet to a medium heat with oil. Add the sausage slices to the skillet. As it browns, break up the sausage a little in the pan with your spatula.

Step 2

Once the sausage is brown, add onions and garlic to the skillet. Saute a few minutes, until fragrant.

Step 3

Add the cooked rice, marinara, dried oregano, dried basil, granulated onion, pinch of salt, and dash of pepper. Use the spatula to make sure everything is fully combined. Turn off the heat, and set the skillet aside.

Step 4

Cut the bell pepper in half, straight down the middle through the stem. Use your fingers to remove the seeds from inside the pepper halves, as well as any white membrane. You can leave the stem on for looks or pop it off with your fingers.

Step 5

Put the empty pepper halves face down into the air fryer. Air fry at 360 degrees for 6 minutes.

Step 6

Remove the pepper halves from the air fryer. Use a spoon to fill them with the rice mixture, making sure to fill all of the crevices. Fill them generously, so that there is a mound on top. Put the filled halves back into the air fryer, rice side up. Air fry at 360 degrees for 6 more minutes.

Step 7

During the last two minutes of cooking time, add a Tablespoon of shredded non-dairy cheese to each pepper, if you'd like. Continue until the cheese has melted.

Step 8

Remove the peppers from the air fryer and serve right away with a vegetable or salad.
