  • In a large pan heat the oil in medium heat, and add the zucchini and onions. Cook for 4-5 minutes until they soften. 
  • Add some garlic and cook for another minute. Add tomato and tomato paste, stir to combine. Add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes. Add beans and peas. 
  • Get the veggie mixture off the heat, add the cooked quinoa to it. Squeeze the lemon over the quinoa and stir to combine. Add more salt and pepper accordingly.
  • Spoon the mixture into pre-cooked peppers and top with a sprinkle of extra cheese on the top. Place the cut tops of the peppers back on, and bake for an additional 20-30 minutes.
