Lentil and Quinoa Stuffed Bell Peppers with Crunchy Pumpkin Seeds
Roasted bell peppers stuffed with a savory blend of lentils, quinoa, and protein-packed soy crumbles, finished with toasted, crunchy pumpkin seeds.
INGREDIENTS
1.5 Large Red Bell Peppers
1/4 cup Cooked Brown Lentils
1/4 cup Cooked Quinoa
150g Vegan Soy Crumbles
1 tbsp Nutritional Yeast
1 tsp Pumpkin Seeds
1 tbsp Tomato Paste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F and prepare a baking dish with a light coating of oil spray.
Slice the bell peppers in half lengthwise, removing the seeds and internal ribs to create a hollow vessel.
In a mixing bowl, stir together the cooked lentils, cooked quinoa, soy crumbles, tomato paste, and nutritional yeast until well combined.
Season the filling with garlic powder, onion powder, and a pinch of salt to enhance the savory flavors.
Spoon the protein-rich filling into the pepper halves, pressing down gently to pack them full.
Place the peppers in the baking dish, add a splash of water to the bottom, and cover tightly with foil.
Bake for 25 minutes, then uncover and sprinkle the pumpkin seeds over the top of each pepper.
Return to the oven for 10 more minutes until the peppers are tender and the seeds are perfectly toasted.
