Stuffed Peppers | The Only Stuffed Peppers Recipe You Will Ever Need!

This is the only stuffed peppers recipe you will ever need! It’s extremely easy to make, healthy and most of all…delicious! 

This is a recipe both vegetarians and omnis will love! It is incredibly easy to make, has a great stuffing and also the lovely flavor of charred bell peppers! You should know that this isn’t a quick recipe, it will take you about an hour to make, but the actual prep part takes no longer than half an hour, so it’s more than ok in my opinion.

Tip! Use red or orange bell peppers for this vegan recipe. The green ones are quite bland. Also, use white, round-shaped rice. I tried a similar stuffed bell peppers recipe with brown rice too, and even though it is good, I like the texture of white rice better. It’s a lot fluffier. 🙂

You can add various toppings to this recipe, to make it even better. You can opt for dairy-based toppings, such as crumbled feta cheese or sour cream, or choose the vegan alternatives – crumbled tofu or tomato paste.
