Spinach and Artichoke Stuffed Peppers
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 large bell peppers
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
- 1 can (14 oz) artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
- 1 cup cooked quinoa
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. Place the peppers in a baking dish and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and chopped spinach to the skillet. Cook until the spinach is wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
- Stir in the chopped artichoke hearts and cooked quinoa. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and Greek yogurt. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Spoon the spinach and artichoke mixture into the prepared bell peppers, dividing it evenly among them. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top of each stuffed pepper.
- Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the cheese is golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let the stuffed peppers cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
