Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 large yellow bell peppers
1/2 c fresh spinach
1/2 c part-skim ricotta cheese
1/4 c fresh parmesan cheese, grated
1 tsp minced fresh garlic
3 Tbsp diced fresh onion
2 slice bacon, cooked & crumbled (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 425.
  • 2. In a small skillet, add the spinach with 1/4 cup water and cover. Cook on medium-high heat until spinach has wilted. Drain well and squeeze to remove any excess water. Set aside.
  • 3. While the spinach is wilting, slice peppers into quarters, discarding seeds and carefully removing any membrane with a sharp knife. Place cut side up on baking sheet.
  • 4. Combine the ricotta and Parmesan cheeses in a medium sized bowl. Add the onion, garlic and spinach. Combine well. If you opted for the bacon, add it to the cheese mixture and combine.
  • 5. Stuff peppers with cheese mixture and bake for approximately 25 minutes.

These peppers are also great for meal prep. I made a big batch on the weekend and then reheated them for lunch throughout the week.

I used a combination of brown and white rice for the filling. It gave the peppers a nice nutty flavor.

I'm not a big fan of cooked spinach, but I loved these peppers! The ricotta cheese and seasonings really balanced out the spinach flavor.
