Vegan Pizza Stuffed Peppers
These easy and delicious vegan pizza stuffed peppers are perfect for weeknight meals or anytime you want a light, low-carb dinner. We’re talking Italian sausage, onions, garlic, and pizza sauce - stuffed inside an oven-baked bell pepper - then smothered with your favorite pizza toppings like cheese, pepperoni, and black olives. They taste just as good as pizza, only without the crust!
Ingredients
- 4 Bell Peppers
- 1 Package Vegan Italian Sausage, Casing Removed Like Beyond Meat
- ½ Onion Diced
- 4 Garlic Cloves Minced
- 14 Ounces Pizza Sauce
For Serving
- 1 cup Dairy-free Mozzarella Cheese
- ¼ Cup Plant-Based Milk
- Vegan Pepperoni
- Black or Green Olives
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F
- Sauté the sausage, onions, and garlic in a skillet over medium-high heat for about 6-8 minutes. Stir in the pizza sauce.
- Cut the peppers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes. Arrange peppers in an oven-safe dish, cut side up.
- Spoon sausage filling into peppers. Transfer to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until peppers are just tender.
- While those are baking, make your cheese sauce. In a small pan over medium heat, whisk cheese and milk together until creamy. Add more milk/cheese as needed to achieve desired consistency. Taste and add salt if necessary.
- Heat vegan pepperoni in a small skillet with a little olive oil until hot. This prevents it from drying out in the oven.
- Remove peppers from the oven and top with cheese sauce, pepperoni, and olives. Top with crushed red pepper flakes, Italian seasoning, and parsley.
