Stuffed vegetable recipes are great when trying to kick your meals up a notch! If you're imagining savory stuffed bell peppers you’re on the right track– they're an all-time classic for a reason – but there are a lot more perfect-for-filling vegetable options out there!
Master Stuffed Vegetable Prep
Whether you decide to explore juicy stuffed tomatoes or zucchini boats, there are a few steps you should always follow when it comes to stuffing vegetables. Take note and let the stuffing begin!
Hollow out the veggies and precook if needed (steam in the oven or microwave to soften).
Prepare your filling using your preferred grain base. For zero-waste prep, mix the hollowed out portion of your vegetable back into the filling.
Arrange your veggies on a baking tray and scoop enough filling into the hollowed out section – be careful not to overfill them.
Top with cheese for creaminess and with crunchy ingredients for an added layer of texture – panko breadcrumbs, crackers, nuts or seeds.
