Ingredients

To create these scrumptious Vegan Stuffed Peppers, you’ll need the following ingredients:

  • 4 large bell peppers (any color)
  • 1 cup quinoa, rinsed
  • 2 cups vegetable broth or water
  • 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup corn (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes (fresh or canned)
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Follow these simple steps to prepare your Vegan Stuffed Peppers:

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. Place them cut-side up in a baking dish.
  3. In a medium pot, combine the quinoa and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the quinoa is fluffy and the liquid is absorbed.
  4. In a large bowl, mix the cooked quinoa with black beans, corn, diced tomatoes, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine all the flavors.
  5. Scoop the quinoa mixture into each bell pepper, packing it tightly.
  6. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes to slightly char the tops.
  7. Once done, remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.
