Air Fryer Bell Pepper Poppers
When you want an appetizer, try these air fryer bell pepper poppers. Not everyone can take the heat of jalapeño peppers–no worries, though! Use brightly colored mini bell peppers, fill them with Boursin herb-flavored Gournay cheese, and add just a little piece of bacon to the top. Air fry in a single layer, cooking in batches, depending on the size of the air fryer.
