Cauliflower Stuffed Peppers Recipes

CAULIFLOWER STUFFED PEPPERS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. Line cookie sheet with foil.
• In 10-inch skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove bacon from skillet, reserving bacon drippings in skillet. In small bowl, crumble 2 slices of bacon; set aside. In large bowl, crumble 4 slices bacon. Add mustard, tamari soy sauce, salt, cayenne, garlic and egg; mix well. Set aside.
• Meanwhile, in food processor fitted with metal blade, place cauliflower. Cover; pulse until very finely chopped (about the size of couscous).
• Heat bacon drippings over medium heat; add onion, celery and kale. Cook 3 to 4 minutes, stirring frequently, until kale begins to soften. Add cauliflower; cook 5 to 7 minutes or until cauliflower is softened. Pour mixture into large bowl with bacon mixture; toss lightly to thoroughly mix.
• Place pepper halves on cookie sheet. Divide cauliflower mixture among peppers. Roast 25 to 30 minutes or until peppers are tender. Sprinkle with reserved bacon and thyme. Serve immediately.

KETO STUFFED BELL PEPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add cauliflower rice and saute until heated through, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
• Heat oil in another skillet over medium-low heat. Saute onion and garlic in the hot oil until soft, about 5 minutes. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up into small pieces, 5 to 7 minutes.
• While the meat cooks, trim tops off bell peppers and hollow out. Use a knife to level off the bottoms of any bell peppers that don't stand mostly upright. Take care not to create a hole in the bottom (if it happens, just fill the pepper with loads of cheese before adding the meat mixture). You can also simply slice the peppers in half lengthwise, leaving the stem on.
• Stir cauliflower rice, tomatoes, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, tomato sauce, and parsley into the beef mixture and cook 2 to 3 minutes more. Season to your liking with salt and pepper.
• Divide filling evenly among bell peppers and nestle them in a baking pan or line on a sheet pan. Top with remaining Parmesan.
• Roast in the preheated oven until peppers are soft, 25 to 35 minutes.

STUFFED PEPPERS WITH FROZEN CAULIFLOWER RICE

Steps:

• Slice tops off peppers and place peppers on a microwave-safe plate. Remove stems from pepper tops and discard. Dice flesh from pepper tops and set aside 1/2 of the diced peppers; save remaining diced peppers for another use.
• Microwave peppers on high for 3 minutes until partially cooked.
• Place frozen riced cauliflower in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for 4 minutes, stirring halfway through.
• Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot, about 1 minute. Add beef, mushrooms, carrots, celery, onion, and reserved diced peppers and cook until onions begin to turn translucent and beef is nearly cooked, about 5 minutes. Stir in Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, oregano, salt, and pepper; cook for 1 minute. Add cooked riced cauliflower and garlic; stir and cook until beef is browned and crumbly, breaking up any chunks with a spoon, 2 to 3 more minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Add drained tomatoes, tomato paste, and fresh basil to the skillet and cook until nearly all liquid is absorbed, about 5 more minutes. Turn off heat and allow beef mixture to cool slightly, about 5 minutes.
• Stuff beef mixture evenly into peppers. Stand peppers upright in a baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until peppers are tender and filling is hot, about 30 minutes.

CAULIFLOWER STUFFED PEPPERS

Steps:

• Set the oven to 120ºC.
• In the blender, blend the cauliflower until it is finely chopped. Cut around the stalk of the peppers and scoop out the seeds inside.
• In a saucepan saute the oinion in the ghee until slightly browned, then add in the cherry tomatoes (chopped), salt, garlic, ginger and cumin. Stir though, turn off the heat and add in the cauliflower.
• Place the peppers on a baking tray, brush some ghee around the outside of the skin. With a spoon carefully spoon in the spiced cauliflower mixture from the pan. Squeeze the juice of one lemon evenly into each pepper. Place the stalk lid on top and pop in the oven.
• Bake for 30 minutes, until desired crispness.
