Ingredients

• 4 large Red bell peppers
• 1.5 cups Cherry tomatoes
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 1 medium Onion
• 1 teaspoon Oregano
• 1 teaspoon Basil
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese
• 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Cut the tops off the red bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. Rinse the peppers and pat them dry with a paper towel.

Step 3

Arrange the bell peppers upright in a baking dish. Set aside.

Step 4

Finely chop the garlic and onion. Halve the cherry tomatoes.

Step 5

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and onion and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 6

Add the cherry tomatoes, oregano, basil, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes break down and the mixture is thickened.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from heat and mix in the breadcrumbs and 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese. Stir until well combined.

Step 8

Spoon the tomato mixture into the prepared bell peppers, filling them generously.

Step 9

Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the stuffed peppers.

Step 10

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.

Step 11

Remove the foil and sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese evenly over the tops of the peppers. Bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and lightly golden.

Step 12

Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy warm as a main course or side dish.
