  • Preheat the oven to 400°F.

  • Clean the bell peppers, cut off the tops and deseed them. You can shave the bottom of the peppers to make them stand upright if need be.
  • Fill each pepper with the orzo filling and place in a cast iron skillet or baking dish.
  • Sprinkle the tops of the filled pepper with vegan parmesan, pour the 1 cup of reserved broth in the bottom of the pan, around the peppers, and cover the entire dish with foil.
