Getting Started

For stuffed peppers, pre-bake empty bell pepper halves at 400°F (200°C) for 10-15 minutes until slightly softened. This prevents them from being undercooked when the filling is ready.
Ensure your fillings are keto-friendly: opt for ground meats, cheese, healthy fats, and low-carb vegetables like cauliflower rice or spinach. Avoid rice, breadcrumbs, or sugary sauces.
Bake bell peppers at 375-400°F (190-200°C). Higher heat helps caramelize the edges for deeper flavor, while moderate heat ensures even cooking without burning.
To prevent soggy baked peppers, avoid overfilling with watery ingredients. If using fresh tomatoes or mushrooms, consider sautéing them lightly beforehand to remove excess moisture.
