Ingredients
- 4 whole bell peppers (red, yellow, or orange)
- 200 grams cream cheese
- 150 grams shredded mozzarella cheese
- 50 grams Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 clove garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Wash the bell peppers and cut them in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds and membranes without cutting off the stem ends, as they help hold the shape.
Step 3
Drizzle the bell pepper halves with olive oil, and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Place them cut side up on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 4
In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, shredded mozzarella, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Step 5
Fill each pepper half generously with the cheese mixture, spreading it evenly.
Step 6
Place the stuffed peppers in the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the cheese filling is golden brown on top.
Step 7
Remove the peppers from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
Step 8
Garnish with additional chopped parsley if desired, and serve warm as a side dish or appetizer.
