I usually am not a huge fan of Halloween celebrations. I have nothing in particular against Halloween, but I don't like to dress up and I don't love that the secular holiday consists of giving children an extremely unhealthy amount of candy.
BUT.
When Lotus Foods asked me to make this Halloween Jack-O-Lantern Stuffed Pepper recipe, I have to admit, I got pretty excited.
I mean, these jack-o-lanterns are so cute. I had such a fun time carving different faces into each of the peppers. And then when you stuff them with Lotus Food's Forbidden rice they really come to life like a real jack-o-lantern.
Step 1. Preheat the oven to 425°F.
Step 2. In a medium pot, cook the rice according to the package directions.
Step 3. Slice the top off of each pepper and scoop out the seeds. Use a paring knife to cut out a jack-o-lantern face onto the side of the pepper.
Step 4. Arrange the peppers in a baking dish and bake in the oven for 15 minutes.
Step 5. In a small pan, sauté the onion, using a splash of water if the onion starts to stick. Cook 5-7 minutes, until soft.
Step 6. Stir in the black beans, garlic powder, salt, and chili powder. Cook a few minutes to warm the beans.
Step 7. When the rice is cooked, stir in the bean mixture.
Step 8. Divide the mixture evenly between all the peppers. Sprinkle with parsley, if desired. Serve and enjoy!
Thank you God for these spooky peppers. We're grateful to celebrate Halloween with a fun and nutrient-dense dinner. Amen.
