How to Make Vegan Vegetable Stuffed Bell Peppers

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add 1 cup of vegan crumbles (e.g., soy curls, TVP) and sauté until heated through and lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Add 2 cloves minced garlic and 1 medium onion, chopped, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  4. Stir in 1 red bell pepper (chopped), 1 green bell pepper (chopped), 1 zucchini (chopped), 1 cup chopped mushrooms, 1 (14.5 ounce) can of diced tomatoes (undrained), 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon dried basil, salt, and pepper to taste.
  5. Bring to a simmer, stir well to combine, reduce heat to low, cover loosely, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until vegetables are tender.
  6. While vegetables simmer, prepare the rice according to package directions. (Use 1 cup of brown rice or quinoa for a lower-carb option).
  7. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  8. Cut 6 large bell peppers in half lengthwise.
  9. Remove stems, seeds, and membranes from the bell pepper halves.
  10. Rinse the insides of the bell peppers.
  11. Lightly grease two 9x13 inch baking dishes.
  12. Arrange bell pepper halves, cut-side up, in the prepared baking dishes.
  13. Once the rice is cooked, gently stir it into the vegetable mixture.
  14. Spoon the vegetable and rice mixture into each bell pepper half, filling generously.
  15. Top each stuffed pepper with 1-2 tablespoons of your favorite tomato sauce.
  16. Sprinkle with extra herbs (optional) and/or vegan cheese slices (optional).
  17. Cover the baking dishes with foil.
  18. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and heated through. Remove foil during the last 10 minutes to allow the tops to brown slightly.
