Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
~15 min - 2
Slice the bell peppers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes. Place them cut-side up in a baking dish.
~5 min - 3
In a mixing bowl, combine the crumbled feta cheese, chopped olives, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, red pepper flakes, minced garlic, and chopped fresh oregano.
~5 min - 4
Season the feta mixture with salt and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
~1 min - 5
Generously stuff each bell pepper half with the feta mixture, pressing it down slightly.
~5 min - 6
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the stuffed peppers. Add about 1/4 cup of water to the bottom of the baking dish to create steam.
~1 min - 7
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and slightly caramelized, and the feta is golden brown.
~30 min - 8
While the peppers are baking, whisk together the lemon juice and the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a small bowl for the drizzle.
~2 min - 9
Once baked, remove the peppers from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes. Drizzle the lemon-oregano mixture over the warm stuffed peppers before serving.

Tips
- For an extra layer of flavor, you can lightly toss the halved bell peppers with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper before stuffing.
- These stuffed peppers can be made ahead of time and reheated gently in the oven. The lemon-oregano drizzle is best added just before serving.
