Method

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

  2. 2

    Wash the sweet peppers and let them dry or pat them dry with a paper towel.

  3. 3

    Cut the peppers in half and remove the seeds. Brush each pepper with olive oil and then sprinkle salt over them. Set aside.

  4. 4

    In a medium bowl mix the goat cheese with the oregano and fresh thyme and mix until combined. Put parchment paper on a baking sheet.

  5. 5

  6. 6

    Recipe Tip: You also can use a piping bag or snip the corner off of a ziplock bag and then add goat cheese into the bag.

    Bake the peppers for 10-15 minutes or until the cheese is tarting to melt and the peppers are just soft.

  8. 8

    Garnish with fresh thyme and balsamic glaze.

Notes

Store the leftover peppers in an airtight container for up to 4 days. They will begin to soften over time. To reheat you can air fry them for about 5 minutes to heat them or you can heat them in the oven until heated through. Air Fry Option: You can air fry the peppers. Preheat the air fryer, spray the air fryer with oil and then air fry at 375 degrees F for 6 to 8 minutes or until lightly charred and soft. Recipe Tip: Bring the goat cheese to room temperature because softens it and helps blend it more easily spices and herbs and makes it easier to spoon into peppers.
