Fill mushrooms, peppers, eggplant, squash, zucchini or artichokes with grains, cheese, vegetables or lentils. Several fillings need cooking before the final air fryer stage; read the complete method before assembling the vegetables.
1. Air Fryer Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms with Spinach and Feta
Portobello mushrooms hold a spinach-and-feta filling. Evenly spoon the spinach and feta mixture into each mushroom cap, pressing lightly to pack the filling.
2. Air Fryer Greek Style Stuffed Bell Peppers
Bell peppers hold a Greek-style savory filling. Pour in tomato sauce and mix thoroughly until blended.
3. Air Fryer Indian Spiced Stuffed Eggplant
Eggplant is filled and seasoned with Indian-style spices. Stuff each eggplant half generously with the spiced vegetable mixture, pressing down lightly to fill completely.
4. Air Fryer Crispy Stuffed Jalapeño Poppers with Cheddar and Bacon
Jalapeño halves hold a cheddar-and-bacon filling. Dip each stuffed jalapeño half first into the egg, then coat thoroughly with the breadcrumbs or crushed pork rinds, pressing lightly to adhere.
5. Air Fryer Mediterranean Chickpea and Spinach Stuffed Peppers
Bell peppers hold a chickpea-and-spinach filling. Firmly spoon the chickpea and spinach mixture into each pepper half, pressing lightly to fill completely.

Zucchini boats are filled with herbs and garlic. Fill each zucchini boat generously with the prepared mixture, pressing down lightly to pack the filling.
8. Air Fryer Italian-Style Stuffed Artichokes with Garlic and Parmesan
Garlic and Parmesan are tucked into stuffed artichokes. Stuff the garlic-Parmesan mixture generously between artichoke leaves, ensuring the filling reaches deep inside without damaging the leaves.
9. Air Fryer Lemon Herb Quinoa and Veggie Stuffed Peppers
Bell peppers hold lemon-herb quinoa and vegetables. Stuff each hollowed bell pepper generously with the quinoa and veggie mixture, pressing down lightly to pack.
10. Air Fryer Lentil and Walnut Stuffed Mushrooms with Tahini Drizzle
Mushrooms hold lentils and walnuts and are finished with tahini. Gently stuff each cap with the lentil-walnut mixture, pressing lightly to fill generously without overcrowding.
Choose what to make
Mushrooms and jalapeños make smaller portions; squash boats and bell peppers hold more filling. Compare quinoa, lentil, cheese and meat fillings, and prepare any cooked components before stuffing.
