Baked Peppers Au Gratin is an easy-to-make dish that can be served as a main meal or a side dish. It is perfect for a healthy and comforting family dinner. This dish is a twist on the traditional au gratin dish, which usually features potatoes and a cheesy crust on top. In this recipe, we've replaced potatoes with bell peppers, which are packed with nutrients and add a sweet and tangy flavor to the dish. Moreover, this version of the recipe is healthier as it does not feature a lot of cheese or butter. The peppers themselves provide a lot of flavor.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2.	Cut off the top of each bell pepper and remove the seeds and membranes.
3.	In a mixing bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, parsley, garlic, olive oil, salt, pepper, and parmesan cheese to make the filling.
4.	Stuff the peppers with the filling mixture and place them on a baking sheet.
5.	Bake until the peppers are tender and the filling is golden brown, about 35-40 minutes.
