Instructions
- Place the green bell peppers in your air fryer basket. Air fry for 10 minutes at 400F.
- While the peppers are cooking, in a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook your Italian Sausage until cooked through and crumbled. Add your mushrooms and garlic. Cook until the mushrooms release their liquid, about 5 minutes. Add the cauliflower and 1 cup of the Monterey Jack Cheese. Mix together until cheese is melted. Remove from heat.
- Use a spoon and fill each green pepper with the filling. Making sure to pack each one full and smooth out the top. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top of the stuffing.
- Place in your Air Fryer basket and cook for annother 10 minutes at 400F. Serve.
Delicious!! My husband and I loved it.
Question, what cauliflower rice do you use? And if you don’t use frozen, do you cook it before you add it?
Do you use frozen cauliflower rice? If so, do you thaw it or cook it first? Thank you!
If I use frozen I thaw it first but I cook it as the recipe instructs.
Tried these tonight for dinner…delicious! Omitted the mushrooms and substituted a plant based burger that had been smoked on the grill. First time using riced califlower and I was pleasantly surprised. Anxious to try more keto recipes! Thank you.
Are the nutritional facts for one half of a pepper or 2 half peppers?
Each stuffed pepper is a whole pepper so each serving is for the whole peppers stuffed
