Instructions
Wash the bell peppers, cut them in half lengthwise, and remove the seeds and white membranes. If necessary, trim a small piece from the bottom of each half so they sit flat.
In a large bowl, combine the ground meat, chopped onion, minced garlic, cooked rice, crushed tomatoes, chopped parsley, paprika powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix everything well until fully combined.
Evenly fill each bell pepper half with the ground meat mixture, pressing it gently to ensure it's compact.
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes. Lightly brush the bell peppers with olive oil.
Place the filled bell peppers in the air fryer basket in a single layer. You may need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your air fryer. Air fry for 15-20 minutes. If using, sprinkle the shredded cheese over the peppers for the last 5 minutes of cooking until melted and bubbly.
Check for doneness: The bell peppers should be tender, and the meat filling cooked through. Serve hot and enjoy!
