Ingredients

  • 6 Large Bell Peppers
  • 1 Large Yellow Onion sliced
  • 8 Ounces Tempeh crumbled
  • 12 Ounces Cauliflower Rice
  • 1 Tablespoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 Teaspoon Salt
  • ½ Teaspoon Chili Powder
  • 8 Ounces Mushrooms chopped
  • 2 Tablespoons Tomato Paste
  • 1 Tablespoon Balsamic Vinegar
  • ⅓ Cup Chopped Parsley

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 475°F. Line a baking pan with aluminum foil.
  • Cut tops off of the peppers. Scoop out insides then place the tops back on. Arrange in the baking pan and bake for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a large skillet, add the onions and cook on medium heat until they start to soften. Use a splash of water if necessary to keep the onion from sticking.
  • Add the crumbled tempeh, cauliflower rice, garlic powder, salt, and chili powder. Cook until the tempeh and rice are warmed through.
  • Add the mushrooms, tomato paste, and balsamic vinegar. Cook until the mushrooms are just soft.
  • Remove from the heat and stir in the parsley.
  • Divide the mixture evenly between all the peppers. Sprinkle with additional parsley, if desired. Serve and enjoy!
