Ingredients

  • 2 bell peppers, halved and seeded

  • 1/2 cup uncooked rice

  • 1 cup water

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced

  • 1 teaspoon dried basil

  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1 pinch black pepper

  • 1 tomato, diced

  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

Directions

  • Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F and lightly grease a baking sheet.

  • Place the peppers open-side down on the baking sheet and roast until they become tender and the skin starts to brown slightly, approximately 25-30 minutes.

  • Meanwhile, boil the rice in the water, cover, reduce heat, and simmer about 20 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

  • In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil and cook the green onions, basil, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper for 2-3 minutes. Add the tomato and cook another 5 minutes. Stir in the cooked rice until heated through. Remove from heat and stir in the feta cheese.

  • Spoon the mixture into the roasted pepper halves and bake for 5 minutes before serving.
