recipe_directions
Preheat oven to 400°. Slice peppers length wise, then remove stems and seeds. Place on a baking sheet that has been lined with foil or parchment paper for easy clean up (spray with coconut oil to ensure they don’t stick, just a recommendation). Place peppers in the oven and bake for approximately 8-10 minutes. Prepare the lentils while the peppers are baking. Bring 2.5 cups of water to a boil and add the lentils, reduce heat to a simmer, and simmer for approximately 20 minutes. Do a taste check to make sure they are cooked until just tender, don’t overcook, and then drain and place back in the saucepan. While the lentils are cooking mix together the following ingredients; garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, and salsa. Gently stir the mixed ingredients into the prepared lentils. Check the flavor and feel free to increase more spice if you like spicy foods or salsa. Heat on low until flavors meld in. When the peppers come out of the oven, change your oven to broil and immediately stuff each half of a pepper with a small spoon of the lentil mixture. Top with shredded vegan cheese and fresh chopped cilantro. Place stuffed mini peppers back in the oven and broil for approximately 2 minutes. Serve hot or at room temperature – not recommended to be served cold.
