Stuffed bull horn peppers are very easy to make, with a soft filling of tuna and potatoes. They are delicious either hot or at room temperature. Bull horn peppers have an elongated shape, are about 8 inches long, and are very tasty without being spicy. You can find them in red or yellow varieties and they are harvested in gardens during the summer months between July and August. They are also excellent when simply cooked in a pan, oven, or, as in this case, in an air fryer. The cooking time in an air fryer may vary depending on the type of air fryer you use (I use this airfryer HERE).

How to prepare Stuffed Bull Horn Peppers
Let’s start preparing the stuffed bull horn peppers with tuna and cooked in an air fryer by peeling the potato, cutting it into pieces, and placing it in a pot with water. Put it on the stove and cook for 15 minutes from when the water starts boiling, then drain it and place it on a plate to mash with a fork.
Cut the peppers in half lengthwise, wash them well under running water, removing seeds and any internal filaments.
Drain the olive oil from the tuna and add it to the plate with the potatoes. Add some salt, pepper, capers, Taggiasca olives, chopped parsley, and mix everything together.
Place the peppers in an air fryer suitable tray, fill the peppers with the tuna and potato filling, sprinkle with breadcrumbs, and add a few sprays of extra virgin olive oil.
Place the tray in the air fryer basket and cook at 392°F (200°C) for 20 minutes. Once cooked, remove the tray from the air fryer basket and serve the stuffed bull horn peppers with tuna hot.
