Stuffed Red Peppers with Quinoa

Ingredients You’ll Need:

  • 4 large red bell peppers
  • 1 cup quinoa, rinsed
  • 2 cups vegetable broth (or water)
  • 1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup corn (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes (canned or fresh)
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)
  • Avocado slices (optional)

Instructions to Goodness:

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Start prepping those red peppers! Cut the tops off and remove the seeds. Set them aside while we get that quinoa going.
  3. In a saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa and vegetable broth. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 15 minutes or until all the liquid is absorbed. Fluff it up with a fork.
  4. In a large bowl, mix the cooked quinoa, black beans, corn, diced tomatoes, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir it all together until well combined.
  5. Stuff the red peppers with the quinoa mixture. Pack them in well, and place them upright in a baking dish.
  6. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 10 minutes to give them a nice roasted color.
  7. Once they’re done, take them out and let them cool for a few minutes. If you like, garnish with fresh cilantro and avocado slices.
  8. Dig in and enjoy the burst of flavors on your plate!
