Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 yellow onion thinly sliced, large
- 16 sweet peppers halved and seeded, baby
- 1 cream cheese 8-ounce package
- 1 garlic minced, large clove
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt sea salt
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a medium-sized skillet over medium high heat. Add the sliced onion and saute, stirring occasionally, until onion begins to turn translucent. Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until onion has caramelized, about 40 to 60 minutes. Note: If the onion begins drying out or sticking to the pan at any point, you can add a few tablespoons of water to de-glaze the pan. Once onion has finished caramelizing, transfer to a cutting board and chop finely.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and halve and seed all of the peppers. Place the peppers in a mixing bowl and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sprinkle with sea salt.
- Arrange peppers on a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer. Bake in the preheated oven for 8 minutes. Remove peppers from the oven and allow them to cool.
- Add the cream cheese, chopped caramelized onion, garlic, Italian seasoning, and sea salt to a mixing bowl. Stir well until all ingredients are well-combined. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F if it isn't already preheated.
- Use a spoon to scoop the cream cheese mixture into the peppers. Bake in the oven another 8 to 10 minutes, or until the cream cheese is golden-brown.
- Top the stuffed peppers with any additional toppings, such as chopped green onion, red pepper flakes, cheddar cheese, and/or a dollop of sour cream.
Notes
- *Cream cheese is easiest to work with if it has been sitting at room temperature for a few minutes
- Options for serving:
- Red pepper flakes
- Chopped green onion
- Cheddar cheese
