- 2 teaspoons avocado oil
- 1 (8-oz) package cream cheese softened at room temperature
- 2/3 cup mozzarella cheese or cheddar cheese, grated

- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon Sriracha optional
Instructions
- Add the ingredients for the cream cheese filling to a mixing bowl and stir well until combined. If you have an electric hand mixer or a stand mixer, either one will come in handy here.
- Slice the tops off of the peppers and cut them in half lengthwise. Remove any seeds that are present.
- Drizzle avocado oil over the peppers and use your hands to toss them together until everything is coated with a bit of oil.
- Stuff the peppers with the cream cheese filling. Transfer 6 or so of them to the air fryer (in a single layer). Press the Bake setting (not the Air Fry setting) and adjust the temperature for 360 and set the time for 8 minutes.
- Allow the peppers to bake then carefully remove them from the air fryer and transfer to a plate. Repeat for the remaining peppers.
