Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large bell peppers (any color)
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Wash the bell peppers thoroughly. Slice them in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes. Set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, chopped parsley, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and ground black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully combined.
Spoon the cheese mixture into each bell pepper half, filling them evenly and pressing down gently to ensure the filling is compact.
Place the stuffed bell peppers on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle the olive oil lightly over the tops of the peppers.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the cheese filling is bubbly and golden brown on top.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with additional chopped parsley if desired.
Serve warm as an appetizer, side dish, or even a light main course. Enjoy!
