  • 1 cup corn kernels, fresh or frozen and thawed
  • 1 small onion, finely diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  3. Arrange the bell pepper halves cut side up in the prepared baking dish.
  4. Spoon the filling evenly into each pepper, pressing gently to pack it in.
