Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C). Halve the bell peppers and remove the seeds. Place them cut side up on a parchment-lined baking sheet, brush with olive oil, and roast for 20 minutes until slightly softened.
- Microwave fresh spinach for 15-30 seconds until wilted. Chop finely and mix it in a large bowl with ricotta, mozzarella, parmesan, green onions, basil, and parsley. Add rosemary, thyme, fennel, salt, pepper, and crack in the eggs. Stir until creamy.
- Once the peppers have softened, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. Fill each pepper with the ricotta filling, packing it evenly.
- In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs with the remaining olive oil. Sprinkle the mixture over each stuffed pepper.
- Lower oven temperature to 350°F (176°C) and bake for an additional 30 minutes until the topping is golden. Optionally, broil for a minute or two for extra crisp.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before serving. They pair well with side salad or garlic bread.

Notes
Ensure spinach is drained well to avoid a watery filling. Feel free to customize the filling with cooked proteins for added flavor.
