Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 large bell peppers preferably red, yellow, or orange
  • 2 cups roasted tomatoes chopped
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • to taste salt and pepper

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Mixing bowl

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice the tops off the peppers and remove the seeds and membranes, creating a hollow cavity inside each.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped roasted tomatoes, crumbled feta, minced garlic, smoked paprika, cumin, and a tablespoon of olive oil. Mix until the filling is well blended and slightly creamy.

  5. Bake the peppers in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, until they are tender and the tops are slightly browned and bubbly.
  6. Remove the peppers from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes. The filling should be heated through, with the feta slightly melty and fragrant tomato juices pooling at the base.
  7. Serve the stuffed peppers warm, garnished with additional herbs or a drizzle of olive oil if desired. Enjoy the tender peppers with the flavorful, cheesy filling inside.
