Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil.
-
Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. Rinse the peppers under cold water and set them aside.
-
In a large skillet, heat some olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, cooking until softened and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
-
Add the diced zucchini, yellow squash, and grated carrot to the skillet. Cook the vegetables until they are tender but still slightly crisp, about 5-6 minutes.
-
Stir in the cooked quinoa, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook the mixture for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
-
Spoon the vegetable and quinoa mixture into each of the bell peppers, pressing down gently to pack the filling.
-
Place the stuffed peppers in the prepared baking dish. Pour the tomato sauce over the top of each pepper, letting it seep into the filling.
-
Cover the dish with foil and bake the peppers in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the peppers are tender.
-
Remove the foil and sprinkle the shredded cheese over the tops of the peppers. Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
-
Once the peppers are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
