Instruction
Lengthwise quarter the bell pepper. Discard stem, membrane, and seeds. Half each quarter lengthwise.
Stir cream cheese, ranch dip mix, and bacon bits in a bowl. Divide mixture between pepper slices, 1 1/2 to 2 teaspoons each slice, with a spoon.
Fill the air fryer basket with filled bell peppers. Cook 8–10 minutes until cheese filling is gently browned. Air fryers differ, so check after 8 minutes.
