This is a step-by-step recipe for vegan stuffed peppers. This is a dish that even you meat eaters will love because it is packed with flavor and it’s healthy. The peppers are stuffed with sweet potatoes, quinoa, black beans and spices for Southwestern flavors and yummy goodness!  

For this stuffed peppers recipe you can chose to use bell peppers, poblano peppers or both. Either way, you cannot go wrong. The bell pepper has a sweeter flavor and is a touch juicier, especially red bell peppers but you can use green bell peppers too. The poblano pepper has more of a little spicy kick.

If you have extra stuffing that you can’t fit into your peppers, consider yourself lucky because you can eat the leftovers the next day as a salad on top of a bed of greens.

  5. Since sweet potatoes can be tough we are going to boil them in water to soften them up. Do this while the quinoa is cooking.
