Stuffed Red Peppers Without Rice

Stuffed Red Peppers Without Rice – Keto-Friendly & Delicious

I love roasted red pepper salad as an appetizer. It pairs perfectly with fresh Challah on Friday night. Red peppers bring sweetness and creamy texture. Green bell peppers just can’t compare.

This week, I upgraded red peppers to the star of the meal. I created stuffed red peppers without rice. I saw pre-made stuffed green peppers at the local deli. That inspired me!

Traditional recipes use rice in the stuffing. I skipped rice completely. Instead, I added diced eggplant. This makes the dish keto-friendly and full of flavor.

The results amazed me. Tender red peppers. Savory beef filling. Rich tomato notes. They tasted even better as leftovers for Sunday brunch!

Try Galilee Green Stuffed Red Peppers. They showcase our premium extra virgin olive oil from Israel.
