Ingredients:
4 large bell peppers (any color)
1 cup cooked Duo Quinoa with Pepper Mix
1/2 cup onion, diced
1/2 cup zucchini, chopped
1/2 cup mushrooms, chopped
1/4 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or plant-based optional)
1 Tbsp olive oil
2 tsp Pepper Mix seasoning
Salt to taste
Fresh parsley or green onions for garnish (optional)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cut tops off bell peppers and scoop out seeds/membranes. Lightly brush the insides with oil.
In a skillet, heat oil and sauté onions, zucchini, and mushrooms for 5–7 minutes until soft.
Stir in cooked quinoa and 2 tsp Pepper Mix. Cook for 1–2 minutes more. Taste and season with a pinch of salt if needed.
Fill each bell pepper with the warm quinoa filling.
(Optional) Sprinkle a little shredded cheese on top.
Place peppers upright in a baking dish. Add a splash of water to the bottom of the dish to help them steam.
Cover loosely with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake uncovered for 10 more minutes until slightly golden and soft.
