Roasted cheesy stuffed bell peppers are creamy, savory, and packed with melty cheesy goodness in every bite.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large bell peppers (red, yellow, or orange)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • Extra mozzarella cheese (for topping)
  • Fresh parsley (for garnish)
  • Parmesan cheese (for garnish)
  • Red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove seeds and membranes. Brush the outside with olive oil and season with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  2. In a bowl, combine ricotta cheese, cream cheese, mozzarella, parmesan, garlic, Italian seasoning, and parsley until creamy and well blended.
  3. Fill each pepper generously with the creamy cheese mixture. Sprinkle extra mozzarella and parmesan cheese on top for a golden cheesy finish.
  4. Place peppers in a baking dish and roast at 400°F (200°C) for 30–35 minutes until the peppers are tender and lightly charred around the edges.
  5. Broil for 2–3 minutes until the tops are bubbly, golden brown, and beautifully caramelized.
  6. Top with fresh parsley, extra parmesan, and optional red pepper flakes before serving warm.

Notes

  • Use low-fat cream cheese for a lighter option.
  • Add spinach or mushrooms into the filling for extra veggies.
  • Swap ricotta for cottage cheese for more protein.
  • Use dairy-free cheese for a vegan-friendly version.
