These Vegan Savory Stuffed Peppers are the perfect weeknight meal. They’re hearty, packed full of flavor, and easy to whip up!
🍅 RED GOLD TOMATOES
We’ve partnered with Red Gold Tomatoes to create a veganized version of their Savory Turkey Stuffed Peppers (Sponsored). For our recipe we swapped out the turkey with vegan “meat” crumbles and replaced the feta with non-dairy feta. We love, love, love stuffed peppers, and this recipe had our taste buds vibrating with excitement.
Red Gold Petite Diced Tomatoes add a nutritious and tasty dimension to recipes from a whole range of cuisines. For four generations, the Red Gold family has been partnering with local family farms to grow the highest quality, best-tasting tomatoes in the world. From quick and easy skillet meals to slow cooker favorites, from slow-simmered sauces to gourmet masterpieces— canned diced tomatoes play a critical role in nearly every cook’s repertoire.
🫑 WHAT ARE STUFFED PEPPERS?
We have a bit of a soft spot in our hearts for stuffed peppers. We met in law school and soon discovered our mutual love of cooking. After brutally long days hitting the books, we’d find momentary solace in the kitchen. And although our repertoire of recipes was limited—cheeseburgers, fried rice and the occasional pasta—we kept experimenting with new dishes.
Spanish rice-stuffed peppers were one of the first truly memorable dishes we ever cooked up in the kitchen. We still look fondly look back at that recipe. Those peppers were great, but THESE peppers are BETTER!
Because Red Gold’s Diced Tomatoes are picked at the peak of ripeness, they’re packed full of delicious tomato flavor. The hint of sweetness from the tomatoes contrasts nicely with the briny non-dairy feta. You top everything off with the sliced almonds for that satisfying crunch in every bite.

👩🏽🍳 RECIPE
VEGAN SAVORY STUFFED PEPPERS
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 ½ pounds vegan ground meat
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 ½ cups brown rice cooked
- 1 14.5 ounce can Red Gold® Diced Tomatoes 14.5 oz, drained
- 2 teaspoons fresh sage leaves chopped
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme chopped, plus more for garnish
- ⅔ cup vegan feta cheese
- 4 large bell peppers tops removed, ribs and seeds removed
- ¼ cup sliced almonds
- chopped chives for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400º F. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to a skillet over medium heat. When the oil is hot add the vegan ground meat, 1 ½ teaspoons of salt and 1 ½ teaspoons of pepper, and sauté until the ground meat is just cooked through, about 6 minutes. Let the ground meat cool just slightly and add the rice, tomatoes, sage, thyme and half of the cheese. Stir to combine all the ingredients.
- Rub the red peppers with the remaining oil inside and out and season the outside of the pepper with the remaining salt and pepper.
- Divide the filling among the peppers. Press and pack the mixture into the the peppers so that all of the filling is used and comes just over the top of the peppers. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese and top with the almonds. Bake uncovered in an 8×8″ casserole dish until the peppers have softened but still hold their shape, the center is hot and the cheese is golden brown, about 35 to 40 minutes. Garnish with chives and serve immediately.
Stuffed peppers are life!
