Healthy stuffed peppers are one of my go-to meals! They’re super flavorful, paleo friendly, and filling! I used simple ingredients for something easy to make. Follow these directions and you’ll have something delicious on the table in no time.

My stuffed peppers are made without rice and instead using sweet potato. It is such a fun texture and truly takes on all the flavor of the fire roasted tomatoes and taco seasoning. Adding extra veggies never tasted so good!

Healthy stuffed peppers are great to meal prep as well! You can make a big batch and enjoy throughout the week. The mixture would also be great to freeze and heat up when you’re ready.

How many does this recipe serve?

Healthy stuffed bell peppers will make ~4 full peppers (or 8 halves). I chose to make 3 full peppers (6 halves) and use some of the extra mixture to eat with crackers, inside a tortilla (I love these or these), or by itself!
