Getting Started

To ensure tender peppers and a cohesive filling, pre-bake bell pepper halves cut-side up at 190°C (375°F) for 10-15 minutes before adding your low-carb filling.
Avoid high-carb binders like breadcrumbs or rice in your fillings. Instead, use cream cheese, grated Parmesan, or a small amount of finely riced cauliflower to bind ingredients and add richness.
For even cooking and browning, arrange stuffed peppers in a single layer in a baking dish. Do not overcrowd the pan, as this can steam instead of bake, leading to soggy results.
Enhance flavor with healthy fats. Drizzle olive oil over the peppers before baking, or incorporate high-fat ingredients like cheese, bacon, or avocado into your fillings to boost satiety and flavor.
