Ingredients
- piece large bell peppers
- piece large onion, diced
- piece small zucchini, peeled and diced
- piece medium carrots, peeled and diced
- cup low-sodium vegetable broth
- cup cooked brown rice
- tablespoon no-salt-added tomato paste
- cup chopped fresh parsley
- cup chopped fresh dill
- piece lemon, juiced
- teaspoon ground black pepper
- piece Herbamare or sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350º F.
- Cut around stem of peppers like you would cut a jack-o-lantern top, retaining the top with stem. Remove seeds carefully and wash and dry thoroughly.
- Place peppers upright in an oven-safe baking dish and put tops back on. Bake at 350º F for 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile in a large nonstick skillet, saute onions, zucchini, and carrots in vegetable broth for 5 to 6 minutes. Add rice and tomato paste; still well to combine.
- Add parsley, dill, lemon juice, and pepper; stir to combine. Season to taste with Herbamare or sea salt.
- Remove pepper from oven, remove the tops, and spoon filling into each pepper. Place tops back on peppers and bake filled peppers for 30 to 40 minutes, or until peppers are tender.
- Serve with additional wedges of lemon and dill for garnish if desired.
