Baked Vegan Lentil Stuffed Peppers
Baked vegan peppers stuffed full of lentils, onions, spices, and delicious tomato flavor.
Ingredients
- 2 large bell peppers (I used one red and one yellow)
- 1/2 cup dry lentils
- 1/2 cup yellow onion (finely chopped)
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce (I used Simple Truth Organic)
- 1/2 tsp dried basil leaves
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 1/2 tsp oregano
- 1 1/2 cups water
Instructions
- Sauté the onions over low heat for a few minutes until golden brown.
- Add the lentils and water to a pot, as well as an optional dash of salt.
- Cook the lentils over low heat for about 20 - 30 minutes, or until the lentils are soft and all the water has been absorbed.
- While the lentils are cooking, cut the peppers in half lengthwise.
- Remove the seeds from the peppers.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the pizza sauce, basil, cumin, and oregano.
- Preheat the oven to 350° F.
- Once the lentils are finished cooking, gently mix them into the pizza sauce mixture.
- Add the chopped onions and mix again.
- Place the pepper halves face up on a parchment lined baking sheet.
- Stuff the peppers with the lentil mixture.
- Sprinkle on optional nutritional yeast seasoning.
- Bake the peppers for about 25 minutes, or until soft.
- Top the peppers with mashed avocado, vegan sour cream, or whatever else you'd like.
- Dig in and enjoy!
