Ingredients

Scale

Peppers

  • 4 bell peppers, any color
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil (15 mL)

Filling

  • 4 cups fresh spinach
  • 1 15-oz tub ricotta cheese (425 g)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup grated parmesan (56 g)
  • ½ cup sliced green onions (about 4 green onions)
  • ½ cup chopped fresh basil
  • 1 handful chopped flat-leaf parsley (aka Italian parsley)
  • 1 tsp each dried rosemary, dried thyme, fennel seed, and salt (roughly smash the fennel seeds to release their flavor)
  • ½ tsp pepper
  • 2 large eggs

Instructions

  1. Prep the Peppers: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the tops off the bell peppers, remove the seeds and membranes, and brush the outsides with olive oil. Place in a baking dish.
  2. Make the Filling: In a large bowl, mix together the ricotta, mozzarella, parmesan, green onions, basil, parsley, dried herbs, salt, and pepper. Stir in the eggs until well combined.
  3. Stuff the Peppers: Fill each pepper with the ricotta mixture, pressing down gently to pack it in.
  4. Bake: Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the filling is golden and bubbly.
  5. Serve: Let the stuffed peppers cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
