and discard the seeds of the peppers.

popur over the stuffed veggies.

Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes or until the veggies are soft and
the filling is cooked through. To serve, carefully remove the stuffed
veggies from the baking dish, freeing the bottoms from the pan with a
spatula, and transfer them to a serving platter.
