Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 large banana peppers
  • 1 pound ground Italian sausage
  • 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 clove garlic, minced

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Cut the banana peppers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes.
  3. In a skillet, cook the Italian sausage over medium heat until browned. Drain off any excess grease.
  4. Stir in the ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, parsley, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  5. Stuff the pepper halves with the sausage mixture.
  6. Place the stuffed peppers in a baking dish.

  • You can grill these peppers instead of baking them. Grill over medium heat for about 15-20 minutes, or until peppers are tender.
  • Serve as a main course or as a party appetizer.
  • These are a great option for a keto meal plan delivery.
