Stuffed vegetables are a classic of Mediterranean cuisine, and today I present them to you in an even tastier and more original version: with fregula sarda as filling and cooked in an air fryer! A lighter alternative to traditional cooking, but rich in flavor and perfect for summer.
Zucchini, peppers, eggplants, or tomatoes: choose the vegetables you prefer and make every lunch or dinner special!
Stuffed vegetables with fregula sarda are a real treat to enjoy in any season. Perfect for buffets, picnics, or family lunches, they are made with few ingredients and cook in no time. Try them and let me know if you loved them as much as I did!

Steps
Cook the vegetables in the air fryer for about 10 minutes at 392°F
Meanwhile, boil the fregula sarda in plenty of salted water for the time indicated on the package.
When the fregula is cooked, drain it into a bowl and let it cool with a drizzle of oil.
Add to the fregula the chopped garlic and parsley, diced tomatoes, pesto, and mozzarella and mix. Also add the vegetable pulp (in my case only eggplants).
Fill the vegetables with the seasoned fregula, spray a little oil on top, add some mozzarella, and gratin in the air fryer for 5 minutes.
Transfer to a serving plate and enjoy!!
