These vegan stuffed peppers are one of those Keto air fryer recipes the entire family will love, Keto or not. They are filled with a mixture of cauliflower and mushrooms and then air fried until slightly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. This recipe is also very customizable. You can adjust and modify absolutely everything according to your taste and still get a fantastic meal. These Keto vegan stuffed peppers are best served warm with a few drops of lemon juice or a drizzle of your favorite Keto hot sauce or Keto ketchup.
Are bell peppers allowed on Keto?
Bell peppers are an incredibly healthy, low-carb vegetable you can enjoy while on the Keto diet. One cup of red bell peppers has just 5.7 grams of net carbs. Bell peppers are also rich in antioxidants which are associated with overall health improvement. There is absolutely no reason to avoid this delicious vegetable while on the Keto diet. However, moderation is the key to everything.
What type of mushrooms to use?
For this recipe, we have used sliced button mushrooms. However, if you prefer some other type of mushrooms, that's perfectly fine. The recipe will still taste great!
Can I bake these in the oven?
Absolutely! Place peppers on a baking tray lined with some parchment paper and bake until golden brown and crispy on top.

Step 1
Make sure your cauliflower is completely dry. Cut the cauliflower into smaller pieces. Add to a food processor and pulse until the cauliflower resembles the texture of rice.Step 2

Place the mushrooms with the stem side down on the cutting board. Slice across the mushroom to your desired thickness. Now, add the cauliflower, mushrooms, tomato paste, and sriracha sauce to the pan. Season with salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, dried oregano, and dried parsley. Mix all well and continue to cook for 15 minutes. Stir occasionally.Step 4
Meanwhile, prepare the peppers. Cut off the tops and pull out the core and the seeds. Cut each pepper in half, lengthwise.Step 5
Brush the inside of each pepper with the remaining olive oil. Lightly sprinkle with some salt and pepper to taste. Stuff each pepper with the prepared cauliflower mixture.Step 6
