These Hawaiian Pizza Stuffed Peppers combine the vibrant flavors of a traditional Hawaiian pizza with the wholesome goodness of bell peppers. Tender roasted bell pepper halves are filled with a savory blend of mozzarella cheese, garlic cream sauce, smoked turkey, and sweet pineapple, then topped with Parmesan and Italian seasoning for a delicious, low-carb twist on pizza night.

  • Total Time: 55 minutes
  • Yield: 8 stuffed pepper halves (serves 4)

Ingredients

Bell Peppers

  • 1 large orange bell pepper
  • 1 large yellow bell pepper
  • 1 large red bell pepper
  • 1 large green bell pepper

Fillings

  • 8 oz mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1 cup low carb garlic cream sauce
  • 4 oz smoked turkey slices, chopped or diced
  • 8 oz canned pineapple, drained
  • ½ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
  2. Prepare the Bell Peppers: Cut each bell pepper in half lengthwise and remove all the ribs and seeds carefully. Arrange the pepper halves cut side up on the prepared baking sheet.
  3. Initial Roast: Place the peppers in the middle rack of the oven and bake for 20 minutes. This softens the peppers slightly, making them tender and ready to be stuffed.
  4. Assemble the Stuffed Peppers: Remove the peppers from the oven. Layer each pepper half first with a portion of shredded mozzarella cheese, then spread some garlic cream sauce over it. Top with chopped smoked turkey slices and pineapple chunks. Add another layer of mozzarella cheese on top of the fillings.
  5. Add Final Toppings: Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese evenly over each stuffed pepper and finish by dusting with Italian seasoning to enhance the flavor.
  6. Bake Until Golden: Return the stuffed peppers to the oven and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the Parmesan cheese melts and turns a delightful golden brown, indicating they are ready to enjoy.

Notes

  • Use fresh bell peppers that are large enough to hold the fillings.
  • Drain canned pineapple well to avoid excess moisture in the peppers.
  • Substitute smoked turkey with ham or Canadian bacon if preferred.
  • Low carb garlic cream sauce can be homemade or store-bought.
  • For extra crispness, broil the stuffed peppers for 1-2 minutes at the end, watching closely to avoid burning.
