Instructions

In a large pan on medium high heat, add onion and cook until soft.
Add zucchini, diced bell pepper and continue to cook until soft and slightly browned.
Add lentils and spices and continue to cook until vegetables are browned and spice mixture has completely mixed.
You may need to add a little more oil or a little water if your veggies aren't giving off a lot of water. Don't drown it- just add a little bit at a time until you have a good consistency, like you would with taco seasoning.
Add mixture to halved peppers and bake at 350 until peppers are soft, about 20 minutes.
If you aren't following a vegan diet, you could add some sharp cheddar cheese as a delicious topping (my kids love anything with cheese- it's a good way to get them eating things they wouldn't otherwise.)
