"We’ve partnered with @redgoldtomatoes to create a veganized version of their Savory Stuffed Peppers! For our recipe, we swapped out the ground turkey with vegan “meat” crumbles, and replaced the feta with non-dairy feta. We love, love, love stuffed peppers, and this recipe had our taste buds dancing with excitement. These Savory Stuffed Peppers are the perfect weeknight meal."

Method
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400º F. Lightly spray a 8x8 inch baking dish, set aside.

Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to a skillet over medium heat. When oil is hot add vegan ground meat, season generously with salt and pepper, and sauté until ground meat is just cooked through, about 6 minutes. Let cool slightly and add rice, tomatoes, sage, thyme and half of the cheese. Stir to combine.
Step 3
Rub red peppers with remaining oil inside and out and season the outside with more salt and pepper.
Step 4
Divide filling among peppers. Press and pack into peppers so that all of the filling is used and comes just over the top.. Sprinkle remaining cheese and top with almonds.
