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.

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.

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.
