Serving: 4 | Pre Time: 15 minutes | Cooking Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients
– 4 large bell peppers (any color you like)
– 1 lb ground turkey or chicken
– 1 cup cooked quinoa
– 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
– 1/4 cup chopped Kalamata olives
– 2 tbsp olive oil
– 1 tbsp dried oregano
– 1 tsp garlic powder
– A big pinch of salt and black pepper
– A squeeze of fresh lemon juice (about 1 tbsp)
– A handful of fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
1. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F for 5 minutes.
2. Slice the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes.
3. In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, cooked quinoa, feta cheese, Kalamata olives, olive oil, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
4. Stuff each bell pepper generously with the turkey-quinoa mixture, pressing it down lightly. Tip: Don’t overpack—leave a little room for the filling to expand as it cooks.
5. Place the stuffed peppers upright in the air fryer basket, ensuring they aren’t touching.
6. Air fry at 375°F for 18–20 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the filling reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Tip: Check halfway through and rotate the basket for even cooking if your air fryer doesn’t do this automatically.
7. Remove the peppers from the air fryer and let them rest for 5 minutes. Tip: This helps the filling set and makes them easier to handle.
8. Drizzle with fresh lemon juice and sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.
Mouthwatering and satisfying, these peppers boast a tender-crisp texture with a juicy, savory filling that’s brightened by the lemon and feta. Serve them over a bed of greens for a complete meal, or slice them into rounds as a fun appetizer—either way, they’re sure to disappear fast.

Serving: 2 | Pre Time: 10 minutes | Cooking Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients

2. In a large bowl, toss the dried chickpeas and chopped veggies with the olive oil, salt, smoked paprika, and garlic powder until everything’s evenly coated. Tip: Don’t skimp on drying the chickpeas—any moisture will steam them instead of crisping.
3. Spread the mixture in a single layer in the air fryer basket, avoiding overcrowding to ensure even cooking.
4. Air fry at 400°F for 12–15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the chickpeas are golden and crunchy and the veggies are tender with charred edges. Tip: Peek at the 10-minute mark; if the veggies are browning too fast, give them a gentle stir.
5. Transfer the cooked chickpeas and veggies to a serving bowl and immediately squeeze the lemon juice over the top, tossing to combine. Tip: Adding lemon juice right after cooking helps the flavors meld while everything’s still warm.
6. Garnish with the chopped parsley if using, and serve right away with extra lemon wedges on the side.
Munch into a bowl where every bite delivers a crunch from the chickpeas against the soft, smoky veggies, all zinged up with lemon.
