Recipe guidance

Crispiness Control

Pat the bell peppers dry, avoid crowding, and use only a light coat of oil or sauce before cooking. Add wet sauces near the end when you want the outside to stay crisp.

Storage

Store leftover Air Fryer Greek Style Stuffed Bell Peppers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Cool the food before sealing so excess steam does not soften the texture.
