Tips:
- Choose the right peppers: Look for firm, brightly colored bell peppers with smooth skin. Avoid peppers with blemishes or bruises.
- Prepare the peppers properly: Cut the peppers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and ribs. Rinse the peppers and pat them dry.
- Use a variety of herbs: The type of herbs you use will depend on your personal preference. Some popular herbs for stuffing peppers include parsley, cilantro, basil, oregano, and thyme.
- Don't overstuff the peppers: The stuffing should be packed tightly, but not so tightly that it causes the peppers to burst.
- Bake the peppers until they are tender: The cooking time will vary depending on the size of the peppers and the type of stuffing you are using. As a general rule, bake the peppers for 30-40 minutes, or until they are soft and cooked through.
- Serve the peppers immediately: Stuffed peppers are best served hot out of the oven. You can garnish them with fresh herbs or grated Parmesan cheese.
