Just in case you were wondering. I hated stuffed peppers growing up. I had a best friend who lived two doors down and sometimes I think maybe on nights we mom didn’t want me to stay for dinner she’d make stuffed peppers because she knew I didn’t like them. Now, I make vegan stuffed peppers that would rival hers any day.

Don’t get me wrong. I really don’t think she meant any harm. But I barely ate vegetables growing up. So, the thought of eating an entire pepper, no thank you.

Luckily, (for me and you), my thoughts on stuffed pepper have changed. I’m thankful because these 3 vegan stuffed peppers that I am sharing with you today, are amazing.

No matter what you taste preferences are or if you have allergies to multiple things, we had a recipe that should suit your needs. If not, then stay tuned, we have more planned! (Shoot us an e-mail if this is true for you!)

How do you make Vegan Stuffed Peppers?

The basics for stuffed peppers is actually an easy concept.

You start by making some sort of grain. In our case we used either rice or quinoa. However, the options are really endless.

Even for rice, you have lots of options. You could use white or brown, wild, quick cook, instant, or more.

You could also use couscous or barely. We love using quinoa.

Honestly, you could even use lentils if you wanted.

Once you have that, you are going to make up a mixture to go with your grain. Whether that’s Mexican flavors or Italian, Indian or Mediterranean. There are so many different ways and there’s no wrong way to do it.

After you have your mixture together, you are going to cut the tops off peppers and remove all seeds and ribbing from the hallowed out pepper.

Then, fill up the empty peppers with your mixture. Place inside a baking dish, cover with foil, and cook at 400 degrees F for 30-35 minutes.

It’s really just that easy!
