Recipe Tips

Make sure to choose bell peppers that are firm and have a smooth skin. If the peppers are wrinkled or have soft spots, they may be past their prime. You can also add other vegetables to the filling, such as zucchini, mushrooms, or spinach. If you like a little heat, you can add some diced jalapeño peppers or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
