Vegan Roasted Bell Peppers Stuffed with Quinoa
There will be looks of envy from the meat-eating crowd when you serve this colorful and delicious entrée of stuffed bell peppers.
Ingredients
Directions
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally until transparent, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Add mushrooms and cook until softened, 4 to 5 minutes more. Add carrots and chopped peppers, cook until just softened, then add parsley and spinach (in batches, if needed).
- Let spinach wilt then stir in cinnamon, cumin and cooked quinoa and toss gently to combine.
- Add salt, pepper and cashews and cook 1 to 2 minutes more. Set aside to let filling cool until just warm.
- Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9- x 13-inch baking pan with oil then set aside.
- Divide quinoa mixture evenly among remaining 6 bell peppers, gently packing it down and making sure to fully fill each pepper. Top each pepper with its reserved top then arrange them upright in prepared pan.
- Cover snugly with foil and bake, checking halfway through, until peppers are tender and juicy and filling is hot throughout, about 1 hour. Transfer to plates and serve.
- Note: based on a recipe from wholefoods.com For a beautiful presentation, choose a combination of green, red, orange and yellow bell peppers.

More than 10 minutes to prep, and less time that recipe says to cook. I cooked about an hour.
Delicious! Very filling. Should make this several times a month. I didn't put the cashews in but can see how it might add more nutty flavor to the quinoa.
