How to Make These Flavorful Stuffed Peppers
1️⃣ Preheat & Prep: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds.
2️⃣ Sauté the Filling: Heat olive oil in a pan, sauté onions and garlic until fragrant. Add cooked quinoa, lentils, diced tomatoes, black beans, corn, and spices. Stir and let everything blend together beautifully!
3️⃣ Stuff the Peppers: Fill each pepper generously with the mixture, packing it in so every bite is flavorful!
4️⃣ Bake Until Tender: Place stuffed peppers in a baking dish, cover with foil, and bake for 25-30 minutes. Remove the foil for the last 10 minutes for a slight char!
5️⃣ Garnish & Serve: Sprinkle fresh cilantro or parsley on top and serve warm!
