Air Fryer Polenta Pizza Bites
Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and gooey melty cheese on top. If Italian herb polenta is not available, sprinkle Italian seasoning over the rounds after brushing with EVOO. I like these as they are but feel free to dip in pizza or marinara sauce for that extra pizza kick. Garnish with parsley if desired.
Air Fryer Turkey Stuffed Peppers
These air fryer turkey stuffed peppers are colorful and tasty - they take only about 20 minutes in the air fryer. Peppers are stuffed with a simple ground turkey filling with Italian herb seasoning and they are finished with melted mozzarella cheese.
Vegetable Stovetop Frittata
A light and high-protein vegetarian egg dish, easy and fast, which can be enjoyed hot or cold with a green salad for lunch or some whole grain bread for breakfast. I love to eat this after a hard workout or bike ride. Serves 2 but easily scalable. Cut in half and serve with toast, a small salad, or some fresh fruit.
