Air Fryer Stuffed Mini Peppers are one of my favorite tasty treats to make – it can be an appetizer or a meal! Those bags of mini peppers are the perfect size for popping in your mouth! Filled with sausage, cream cheese and more – you’ll love them!
The other thing I love about Stuffed Mini Peppers is that they’re done in 8 minutes in your air fryer! They’re fun to make too – because you just slice the peppers in half and get your hands in and stuff them!
Can stuffed mini peppers be frozen?
I probably wouldn’t freeze them – they take about 5-10 minutes to put together and 8 minutes to cook – so not sure you’re saving much time. But if you wanted to make them the night before a gathering – they’d be fine in the refrigerator overnight before you cook them.
How to make Stuffed Mini Peppers
- In a small bowl, beat together the cream cheese, raw sausage, garlic powder, cheddar, and Worcestershire sauce with an electric mixer until smooth.
- Slice top off mini peppers and then slice in half lengthwise.
- Fill the sliced peppers with the filling using a spoon. The amount will vary based on the pepper size.

These look so good! Wondering if the sausage is pre cooked before adding to the filling?
It is NOT precooked – mix it with the cheese, cream cheese and stuff – it cooks in the air fryer. It would be too crumbly if you cooked first.
I used your cooking method to make these delicious stuffed mini peppers, I used Turkey Italian sausages, removing the casing, added some diced pimentos and used the lower fat cream cheese. These were absolutely scrumptious! A big thank you, will be making again.
Glad you loved it!
