Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Halve the bell peppers lengthwise and remove seeds.
  2. In a skillet, warm olive oil over medium heat. Sauté onion until translucent, then add garlic and cook until fragrant.
  3. In a bowl, combine sautéed onion and garlic with 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 pepper half generously. If desired, drizzle marinara sauce in the baking dish before adding peppers.
  5. Cover with foil and bake for about 25 minutes. Remove foil, sprinkle extra Parmesan on top if desired, and bake uncovered for an additional 10 minutes until golden.
