Ingredients
  

4 medium sweet bell peppers (any color)

2 large ripe peaches, diced (reserve a few pieces for garnish)

1 cup cooked quinoa

1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed

1/2 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)

1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese (use vegan cheese for a dairy-free option)

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon chili powder

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh cilantro or basil for garnish

Optional: 1/2 jalapeño, finely chopped (if you like it spicy)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it's ready when the peppers are stuffed.

    Prepare the Peppers: Carefully cut the tops off the bell peppers and scoop out the seeds and membranes from the interior. Brush the outside of each pepper lightly with olive oil to enhance their flavor during baking, then set them aside.

      Make the Filling:

        - In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced peaches, cooked quinoa, black beans, corn, and crumbled feta cheese.

          - Drizzle in the olive oil and sprinkle the ground cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, and salt and pepper to taste. If you’re using jalapeño for an added kick, fold it into the mixture now.

            - Stir all the ingredients together until everything is evenly coated and well-mixed.

              Stuff the Peppers: With care, fill each bell pepper with the peach and quinoa mixture, using a spoon to gently press the filling down into the peppers to maximize the stuffing.

                Bake the Peppers: Arrange the stuffed peppers upright in a baking dish and cover them with aluminum foil to keep them moist. Bake them in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. After that, carefully remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the filling is thoroughly heated.

                  Serve: Allow the stuffed peppers to cool for a few minutes before serving. For a vibrant presentation, top each pepper with extra diced peaches and a sprinkle of freshly chopped cilantro or basil. Enjoy the delightful blend of sweet and savory flavors!
