Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup water
• 1 pinch ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• ½ cup crumbled feta cheese

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.

Step 2

Bring water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Stir in rice. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 3

While peppers are roasting, heat oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir onions, basil, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper in oil for 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in tomato and cook for 5 minutes. Spoon in cooked rice and stir until heated through. Remove from heat, mix in feta cheese, and spoon mixture into pepper halves.

Step 4

Return peppers to the oven until warmed through, about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Meanwhile, place peppers cut-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven until tender and skin begins to brown, 25 to 30 minutes.
