Spinach and Feta Stuffed Peppers

7

I cannot get enough of these easy stuffed peppers. These are the perfect alternative to a gluten free (and yet JUST AS DELICIOUS) spinach pie. I promise you, tastes just as good!!! Plus, you will do a fraction of the work and they are LOW CARB. These are so win win. I typically meal prep these for the week and have one with my protein as a side dish vegetable. I also have had these as a snack and served them as appetizers. Major hit with the family.

The method to make these is so simple and straightforward. You start off with steaming your peppers for 7 minutes and then letting them drain of any liquid. I also blotted them dry with a paper towel. You can mix up the feta, parmesan, egg and breadcrumbs so that those are ready. In a separate pan, you will sauté your green onions, spinach, garlic and herbs. This takes 2-3 minutes. Then just mix in the cheese with the spinach and stuff your heart out. Drizzle with a little liquid gold, cover and bake until the peppers are fork tender.

Notes

When salting the spinach, also keep in mind that the feta cheese has a salty taste.
