Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large bell peppers
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion (finely chopped)
  • 3–4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 10 oz package frozen chopped spinach (thawed and drained)
  • 15 oz container whole milk ricotta cheese
  • 1 large egg (lightly beaten)
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ¼ cup plain breadcrumbs (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Slice each bell pepper in half lengthwise and remove seeds. Place them cut-side up in a baking dish.
  3. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté chopped onion until translucent (about 5 minutes), then add minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
  4. In a large bowl, mix sautéed onions and garlic with the thawed spinach, ricotta cheese, beaten egg, Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs (if using), Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  5. Fill each pepper half generously with the ricotta-spinach mixture.
