Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large bell peppers
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 3–4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 10 oz frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
  • 15 oz 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. Place them upright in a baking dish.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté chopped onion until translucent. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant.
  3. In a bowl, combine sautéed onion and garlic with spinach, ricotta cheese, egg, Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs (if using), Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  4. Fill each pepper generously with the filling. If desired, spread marinara sauce on the bottom of the baking dish before placing filled peppers inside.
  5. Cover with foil and bake for about 25 minutes. Remove foil, sprinkle extra Parmesan on top if desired, and bake uncovered for another 10-15 minutes until golden brown.
