Cheese stuffed sweet mini Peppers (चीज स्टफ्ड भोपळी मिरची)

I had bought sweet mini peppers from the grocery store. While surfing the net for recipe ideas using sweet mini peppers, cheese stuffed mini peppers seemed very popular search result. I was trying this vegetable for the first time, so I decided to try this recipe first.

Ingredients:
8-10 sweet mini peppers
1 1/2 tbsp mozzarella cheese
1 tsp olive oil
1/4 tsp Italian seasoning of mixed herbs
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
little bit of lemon juice (1/4 tsp)
1 tsp pepper powder or paprika
salt optional (Keep in mind cheese contains salt already)

Servings: 3 people

Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degree Celsius).  Cut the top portion off the mini peppers, take out all the seeds inside. In a bowl, crumble mozzarella cheese and add olive oil, mixed herbs, garlic cloves. Mix lightly. Sprinkle little bit of lemon juice and stir. Cheese stuffing is ready.

Fill mini peppers with cheese stuffing. Do not overstuff, since cheese will melt on heating and ooze out. Coat mini peppers lightly with very little oil. Transfer cheese stuffed mini peppers on a baking sheet or a baking tray. Cook for about 10-15 minutes or until the cheese melts. The mini peppers should feel tender and slightly blackened.
