Vegetarian Stuffed Peppers with Cauliflower Rice

riced cauliflower

olive oil

6-8 bell peppers, any color you like

(15 oz) can black beans,

medium sized tomatoes, diced

cheese, divided

onion

enchilada sauce,

cilantro

cumin

salt

paprika

garlic powder

onion powder

black pepper

Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees F.  Cut the top off of each pepper and scoop out all the seeds and white membrane.  If you prefer a softer pepper: bring a large pot of water to a boil and place peppers in for about 1 minute.  Remove from water and place in a baking dish.

Heat a large skillet and add olive oil and riced cauliflower.  Sautee until cauliflower is tender, about 7 minutes.

Add the cauliflower rice and all the remaining ingredients (except for 1/4 cup cheese) to a large bowl and mix until combined.  Pack each pepper with the filling, how much filling will depend on the size of your pepper.  Top with a little sprinkle of cheese.  Pour about 1/3 cup of water in the bottom of the baking dish and bake peppers until mixture is heated through and cheese is melted, about 20 minutes.

Loved these! Even my carnivore husband thought they were tasty. Thanks for the recipe. I used vegetable stock to sauté instead of oil and used vegan Mexican grated cheese.\

I made this for my fiancé yesterday after recently discovering your amazing website! We have both turned to the vegie side of life over the last few months and your website is fantastic for dinner and meal prep ideas. You make everything really easy and simple; we are loving the recipes as I have made a few items from here this week already and I'm already a huge fan! Thank you :)

This is a super easy recipe to adjust based on what you have on hand.  I used 2 bags of Steamfresh Cauliflower Rice, 1 can of diced tomatoes with green chiles, and added 1 cup of leftover taco meat.  No fresh tomato, enchilada sauce or salsa.  Turned out great, everyone enjoyed it.

Loved this made a few adjustments for myself but it was so lovely nom nom nom

Just skip the beans...I don't see how it could be anymore low carb since thats's the only carb....lol

I will be trying this recipe soon.cos glad I found your website.

These two comments were must useful: pick the right bell pepper, yellow, orange, and red being sweeter and blanch the peppers for 30 seconds – 1 minute before stuffing them.  Both suggestions made a huge difference in my meal. Thank you!

Delicious and easy! I didn’t have salsa so l substituted homemade pizza sauce. Yummy! And thank you for including the nutritional information. That’s important because l track everything l eat.

¼ tsp Red Pepper Flakes (optional)

tsp Ground Cumin

½ Cup Shredded Monterey Jack Cheese

Optional toppings: Avocado, cilantro/parsley, sour cream, and lime wedges

Preheat oven to 400° and line a baking tray with parchment paper. Thoroughly wash the bell pepper and pat the excess moisture with a paper towel.

Carefully slice each bell pepper halfway, through the stems. Discard the ribs and seeds, and place on the prepared baking tray.

Spray with a bit of cooking oil spray and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake for 8-10 minutes.

Meanwhile, heat oil in a heavy skillet, over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic, sauté until onion is translucent.

Stir in tomatoes, beans, and corn. Add red pepper flakes, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt and pepper, cook stirring constantly for 2-3 minutes. Stir in the quinoa and broth, and reduce the heat to low.

Cover and let it simmer until quinoa is cooked through about 12-15 minutes. Once done, remove from the heat and carefully spoon the mixture into the roasted peppers.

Generously sprinkle shredded cheese on top, then place back into the oven and cook for 6-8 minutes (until cheese is melted and peppers are tender).

Once done, remove from the oven, garnish with chopped cilantro or parsley. Serve with your favorite toppings and enjoy.

These cheesy Quinoa Stuffed Peppers take stuffed peppers to a whole new level! They’re a healthy, protein-packed vegetarian meal!

Quinoa Stuffed Peppers

bell peppers (any colors you like, see note)

quinoa (rinsed and drained)

water

carrots

celery

mushrooms

garlic (minced)

marinara sauce

beans

parsley

Salt and pepper

mozzarella cheese (divided)

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Cut the bell peppers in half lengthwise and remove the ribs and seeds. Place the peppers, cut sides up, in a baking dish. (You may need two baking dishes to fit them all.) Set aside.

Place the quinoa and water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat to a low simmer. Cover and simmer until all of the liquid has been absorbed, about 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions, carrot, and celery and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook until they begin to soften and brown, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Remove from the heat.

Pour the marinara sauce into the skillet with the vegetables and stir to combine.

Add the beans, cooked quinoa, parsley, and ¾ cup of the mozzarella to the skillet, and stir until evenly combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Scoop the filling into each of the bell pepper halves, and top with the remaining mozzarella cheese. Cover baking dish with foil and bake for 35 minutes, until the peppers have slightly softened and the filling is hot. Uncover and bake for 5 more minutes, until the cheese just begins to brown. Let stand for about 5 minutes before serving.
