I can’t believe that I used to hate bell pepper! When I was a kid, I even told people I’d be allergic to them, just so I didn’t have to eat them. Haha! Crazy me, I know! It’s so weird how your taste buds can change over time. Today, I absolutely LOVE red bell pepper and we eat them all the time. Either raw with hummus, grilled with zucchini and potatoes, or in a salad. And I also love stuffed bell peppers. Bell peppers are super healthy and very good for you. They’re packed with vitamin c and folate. Besides, they also contain a good amount of vitamins A and E. So they’re perfect for a healthy diet.

As always, you can find the full ingredient list and recipe instructions in a separate, printable recipe box underneath the text section. The recipe is basically divided into two parts. First cut the red bell pepper and the onion into stripes. Together with the garlic, place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 10 minutes. Then place them in a high speed blender together with the remaining ingredients and process until smooth. Pretty easy, right?
