Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large bell peppers (any color)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion (finely chopped)
  • 3–4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 10 oz package frozen chopped spinach (thawed and squeezed dry)
  • 15 oz container whole milk ricotta cheese
  • 1 large egg (lightly beaten)
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ¼ cup plain breadcrumbs (optional)
  • 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove seeds.
  2. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the onion until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant.
  3. In a bowl, mix spinach, ricotta cheese, beaten egg, Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs (if using), Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  4. Fill each pepper generously with the mixture. Place them upright in a baking dish lined with marinara sauce if desired.
  5. Bake uncovered for 30-35 minutes until tender. Sprinkle extra Parmesan on top during the last few minutes for a crispy finish.
