Ingredients

  • 1 bell pepper, any color

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened

  • 1 (1 ounce) packet ranch dip mix

  • 2 teaspoons real bacon bits

Directions

  1. Preheat an air fryer to 390 degrees F (199 degrees C) according to manufacturer’s instructions.

  2. Quarter the bell pepper lengthwise. Remove stem, membrane, and seeds; discard. Cut each quarter in half lengthwise.

  3. Mix cream cheese, ranch dip mix, and bacon bits together in a bowl until evenly combined. Using a spoon, divide mixture between pepper slices, about 1 1/2 to 2 teaspoons per slice.

  4. Place stuffed bell peppers in the basket of the air fryer. Cook until cheese filling is lightly browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Check after 8 minutes as air fryers vary.
