Ingredients
- 4 bell peppers (any color you like)
- 1 cup quinoa, rinsed
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup corn (fresh or frozen)
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Start by cooking the quinoa. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes until all the liquid is absorbed. Fluff it with a fork when done.
- While the quinoa is cookin’, prepare your bell peppers. Slice the tops off, remove the seeds, and set them aside in a baking dish.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, black beans, corn, diced tomatoes, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Mix it all together until well combined.
- Stuff the bell peppers generously with the quinoa mixture, packing it down gently.
- Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 30–35 minutes, until the peppers are tender.
- If you like a little char, remove the foil for the last 10 minutes of baking.
- Once they’re done, let them cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro if you’re feelin’ fancy!
