Bell Pepper facts
Whenever I always think of foods rich in Vitamin C, my mind automatically goes to oranges, but did you know that bell peppers have more Vitamin C than oranges?
Green bell peppers contain 95.7 mg of vitamin C per 100 grams, compared to oranges, which contain only 53.2 mg per 100 grams.
Doesn’t that look cool? Not only that, but bell peppers (green, yellow and red), whether raw or cooked, contain 92 per cent water and carbohydrates in the form of glucose and fructose sugars, which is attributed to the bell pepper’s lovable taste.
Did you know that Bell Peppers are an excellent source of fiber, too? Here is a list of vitamins and minerals found in bell peppers:
- Vitamin B6: This particular vitamin promotes red blood cell production.
- Vitamin K1: It is an important vitamin for blood clotting and bone health.
- Potassium is a well-known mineral that is essential for heart health.
- Folic acid, also known as vitamin B9, has numerous benefits, particularly during pregnancy.
- Vitamin E: An important antioxidant for nerve and muscle health.
- Vitamin A: Capsicum is high in beta-carotene, which is converted to vitamin A in the body.
In addition, there are many other health benefits of bell pepper that will make you want to eat it daily, including:

- Promote eye health
- Fetal nutrition during pregnancy

Just to reheat Keto Stuffed Peppers you will need to put them in a 400°C oven for about 10 minutes.

How Do You Store Keto Stuffed Peppers?
I recommend storing these in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
You can reheat it whenever you want and be confident that you will get a delicious meal just as if you prepared it on the same day.
Note: If you want to freeze them, I recommend freezing the filling rather than the peppers, as the peppers may become mushy if you do.
The filling can be frozen for up to 3 months in the freezer.
What Can You Use Instead of Peppers
If you don’t like bell peppers, you can stuff the ground beef mixture into zucchini or squash.
However, unless you are using round squash, it is better to use bell pepper because it holds the filling better.

Keto Stuffed Peppers Recipe
KETO STUFFED PEPPERS
These Keto Stuffed Peppers are made the classic way stuffed with simple and nutritious ingredients: ground beef, tomatoes, garlic, onions and spices topped with melted cheese.
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 medium onion ((chopped))
- 3 cloves garlic ((minced))
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1 14.5 oz can diced tomatoes
- 1.5 cups cauliflower rice
- 6 bell peppers ((tops and cores removed))
- 1 cup shredded Monterey jack cheese
- Freshly chopped parsley ((for garnish))
-
Preheat oven to 400° F.
-
In a large 10.5” skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Brown the beef and spices in a skillet for 5-7 minutes before adding the onion and garlic. Cook for another 4-5 minutes, until the onion softens.
-
Combine the tomato paste, diced tomatoes, and cauliflower rice. Cook for 5 minutes before dividing the mixture among the peppers and topping with cheese.
-
Wipe out the pan or (you can use a baking dish), put the stuffed peppers in the pan, cover and bake for 30 minutes, uncover the lid after this time and bake another 10 until the cheese melts
-
Top with parsley and serve.
Notes
- If you want softer peppers, I recommend blanching the bell peppers quickly before stuffing – about 10 minutes in boiling water. Otherwise, the peppers will likely be a bit crunchy.
- This keto stuffed pepper recipe can also be made in the slow cooker. Simply cook the meat-filled peppers without cheese in the Crock-Pot on low for 4-5 hours. The cheese can be added at the end until completely melted, about 10 minutes more.
- Suggestion: You cut the bell peppers in half vertically and stuff each half to make serving easier and baking time faster.
