Notes
In addition to the shredded cheese and cream cheese, you can also add a dash of garlic powder and some red pepper flakes into the filling for the sweet peppers.
To bring some more flavor to the cream cheese stuffed peppers, you can also add a bit of green onion into the mixture.
If you have a few extra minutes, I would highly recommend making a baked version of these stuffed mini peppers. All you need to do is arrange them on a baking dish or a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and pop them into a preheated oven until they're nice and golden brown.
If you're planning to bake these stuffed mini peppers, you may want to rub them with a little olive oil on the outside so that they're nice and golden.
Another great option is to pop the stuffed mini peppers in the Air Fryer until they start to get that little char on the outside.
If you have any leftovers, you can transfer them to an airtight container and refrigerate them for up to 2 days.
