  • Next, rinse the bell peppers and cut the top off and keep it as a lid. Remove the seeds from the peppers. 
  • Now, fill the peppers with the veggie mix, until the peppers are fully stuffed. Place the stuffed peppers in the lined pan and cover them with the pepper lids. Cook in the oven for 25-minutes or until the stuffed peppers are just starting to darken and blacken a little at the edges.
  • Serve with a fresh sprinkle of basil and a drizzle of sweet and sour chili sauce.
    Enjoy.
