Prep Time: 15 minutes
Baking Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients:
Cauliflower Rice:
3 tablespoons butter
½ medium yellow onion, peeled & diced
3 garlic cloves
1 cup cremini mushrooms, chopped
1 teaspoon sea salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon dried oregano
3 cups riced cauliflower
1 cup shredded cheese
¼ cup fresh parsley, minced
Bell Peppers:
3 orange bell peppers

Instructions:

Prepare your bell pepper by slicing off the tops and setting the tops aside.

Remove the core and seeds from each pepper and discard. With a paring knife, carefully cut out Jack O’ Lantern shaped faces in each bell pepper.

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Add 2 tablespoons of the butter to a large skillet and bring to medium heat.

Add onion and garlic and sauté until soft, about 5 minutes.

Add sliced mushrooms and continue to sauté until soft, about 3 more minutes.

Season with seal salt, black pepper, smoked paprika and oregano.

Add in cauliflower rice and sauté until the cauliflower is soft, about 5 minutes.

Turn off the heat and stir in the shredded cheese and fresh parsley.

Fill each bell pepper with the cauliflower rice, packing each pretty tightly.

Bake in the oven on a tray lined with parchment paper for 25 minutes.

Remove from the oven and serve between 3, storing any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.

Enjoy!
