Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large bell peppers
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion (finely chopped)
  • 3–4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 (10 oz) package frozen chopped spinach (thawed and squeezed dry)
  • 1 (15 oz) container 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 pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Halve the bell peppers lengthwise, removing seeds and membranes.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Sauté the onion until translucent, then add minced garlic; cook until fragrant.
  3. In a bowl, combine thawed spinach, ricotta cheese, beaten egg, Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs (if using), Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  4. Spoon the filling into each bell pepper half and place them in a baking dish lined with marinara sauce if desired.
  5. Cover with foil and bake for about 30 minutes. Remove foil during the last ten minutes to allow tops to brown.
