Cooking Time32 min
Ingredients
- 2 pound mini sweet peppers
- 1 pound ball of skim Mozzarella cheese
- 2 cup marinara sauce
- extra virgin olive oil, to taste
- sea salt, to taste
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
-
Cut the tops off of your sweet peppers. Rinse them all and remove the seeds from the inside of the peppers.
-
Cut your block of mozzarella into small chunk sizes. Small enough to stuff inside of your peppers, but not too small.
-
Stuff all your peppers with the mozzarella.
-
Line a deep casserole dish with 2 cups of your favorite marinara sauce. Then arrange the peppers on top of the sauce in a circular pattern.
-
Drizzle the top of the peppers with extra virgin olive oil and then sprinkle the tops with a moderate amount of sea salt.
-
Transfer the dish to your preheated oven and then bake at 400 for about 30 minutes or until the cheese looks bubbly and melted.
-
Once the cheese looks melted change the oven to Broil and to 500 degrees. Broil at 500 for about 2-3 minutes until there is a nice subtle charred appearance to the peppers.
-
Remove the casserole dish from the oven. Allow to cool for a few minutes and then serve warm.
