INGREDIENTS

  • Cheese / Dairy

    • 🧀 1 (8 ounce) package reduced-fat cream cheese (Neufchâtel), softened
    • 🧀 ½ cup shredded Gouda cheese
    • 🥛 ¼ cup plain Greek-style yogurt

  • Herbs / Seasoning

    • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
    • 1 tablespoon salt-free Italian seasoning
    • 🧄 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • Vegetables

    • 1 pound jalapeno peppers, halved and seeded

  • Baking

    • 🍞 2 tablespoons whole-wheat panko bread crumbs

STEPS

1

For the filling, stir together cream cheese, gouda, yogurt, oregano, Italian seasoning, and garlic in a bowl.

2

Transfer the filling to a piping bag (fitted with a tip) or a small zip-top plastic bag and snip off a corner. Pipe filling into each pepper half. Put panko in a small dish and dip peppers, filling sides down, in panko to coat. Lightly coat panko with cooking spray.

3

Preheat the air fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Air-fry peppers, panko sides up and working in batches as needed, until tender and lightly browned, about 8 minutes.

4

If you like, garnish with additional fresh herbs before serving.
