Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Place the peppers on a baking sheet and brush or spray them with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Once the oven hits 425 degrees F, roast the peppers for 15 minutes.
  • Heat a saucepan over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add in the onions and garlic with a pinch of salt and cook for 1 minute. Add in the rice and cook, toasting it for 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the corn and zucchini. Pour in the broth and a pinch of salt and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cover. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes, then stir in the parmesan cheese.
  • Place the marinara in a baking dish. Place the peppers on top, cut side up. Scoop the rice into the peppers. Top with the breadcrumbs and an extra sprinkle of parmesan cheese.
  • Roast the peppers for 15 to 20 minutes. Top with fresh herbs. Serve immediately!
