BBQ Grilled Bell Peppers Stuffed with Zucchini and Cheese
Grilled zucchini and cheese-stuffed peppers are a fantastic vegetarian grilling dish that perfectly combines the smoky flavor of grilled peppers with the succulence of zucchini and the creaminess of melted cheese. Smoked paprika and olive oil further deepen the flavor, while grilling causes the cheese to brown slightly, adding an even more exciting texture to the dish. This recipe is an ideal choice for grill parties, vegetarian dinners, or even as a side dish for meat dishes. If you want to make it even more special, try adding feta or blue cheese.
