Ingredients

  • 4 medium tomatoes
  • olive oil, as needed
  • 1 cup cooked brown rice
  • ⅓ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • ¼ cup crumbled goat cheese
  • ¼ cup chopped toasted walnuts
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil, divided, or more to taste
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ¼ cup Italian-seasoned bread crumbs, divided
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

1

Cut tops off tomatoes; scoop out flesh with a melon baller, leaving ¼- to ½-inch-thick sides and bottoms. Discard tomato tops and flesh.

2

Brush the bottom of an air fryer basket with olive oil. Preheat the air fryer to 370 degrees F (188 degrees C) according to manufacturer's instructions.

3

Meanwhile, combine cooked rice, Parmesan cheese, goat cheese, walnuts, 1 tablespoon basil, and garlic in a bowl. Combine bread crumbs and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a separate bowl. Fill tomatoes with rice mixture; sprinkle with bread crumb mixture. Place stuffed tomatoes in the prepared air fryer basket.

4

Cook in the preheated air fryer until tomatoes are tender, filling is heated through, and topping is golden brown, about 15 minutes. Garnish with remaining 1 tablespoon basil.
