Tips:

• Cook this in the oven if you don’t have an air fryer, or even on the grill
• Don’t remove the stem from your stuffed pepper. This will help it hold together better
• Add extra protein and flavour to your quinoa by cooking it in bone broth. If you don’t make your own, check Organika brand. Its powdered, full of protein, and very easy to make.
• If you have any leftover filling this makes for delicious leftovers or side dish.
• Dairy free? Skip the shredded cheese.
• Making your own gluten free croutons is super fast and easy! You’ll never want to buy them again
