    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.

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.
