Ingredients
  

For the peppers:

  • 1 lb assorted mini bell peppers (about 24, red, orange, yellow)

For the filling:

  • 12 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
  • 3 green onions, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup fresh baby spinach

For the topping:

  • 1 cup shredded cheese (mozzarella or pepper jack suggested)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Next, slice the mini bell peppers lengthwise and remove the seeds, creating little pepper boats ready for stuffing.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, garlic powder, grated parmesan cheese, finely chopped green onions, and fresh baby spinach. Mix thoroughly until you have a well-blended, creamy filling. I like to make sure the spinach is chopped finely so it distributes evenly throughout the mixture.
  • Carefully spoon the cream cheese mixture from Step 2 into the prepared bell pepper halves from Step 1, filling them evenly. Arrange the stuffed peppers on the lined baking sheet and sprinkle the shredded cheese generously over the top.
  • Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake the peppers for about 15 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the tops are slightly golden. I like to let them cool for a couple of minutes before serving so the filling sets a bit and they’re easier to eat.
