Ingredients

6 mini sweet peppers
6 wedges light spreadable cheese
3 tbsp pizza sauce
3 tbsp reduced-fat shredded mozzarella cheese (2% milk)
½ oz mini pepperoni
Everything Bagel seasoning, for topping (optional)

‍

Directions

Slice the mini peppers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes. Rinse if needed, pat dry, and place cut-side up.
Spread about ½ cheese wedge into each pepper half.
Spoon a small amount of pizza sauce over the cheese.
Top each pepper with a few mini pepperoni slices.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella over the top.
Arrange the peppers in a single layer and air fry at 375°F until the peppers are tender-crisp and the cheese is melted and golden. This takes about 6–8 minutes in a basket air fryer or 7–9 minutes in an air fryer oven.
Sprinkle lightly with Everything Bagel seasoning right after cooking.

8. Let cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm.
