Vegetarian Oven-Baked Cheese And Bell Pepper Quesadillas Recipe

Recipe By The Spruce Eats

Mexican quesadillas are very easy to make, and kids love them since they contain a lot of cheese (with some health vegetables snuck in there, of course) This vegetarian recipe for a simple cheese and bell pepper quesadillas will be a hit with the kids, as well as the adults, and veggie quesadillas also make a great snack or a simple appetizer for the super bowl, or any game day. You might also love having some sour cream, homemade guacamole, and salsa on the side to dip your veggie quesadillas in. These bell pepper veggie quesadillas are also oven-baked instead of pan-fried, which gives them nice crispiness, without any added fat or oil when cooking. Although the recipe does call for cooking the bell peppers in a bit of oil before baking, you can omit the oil and use a non-stick pan, or, omit this step entirely if you prefer your veggie quesadillas to be lower in fat. Wondering about cheese and whether it can be included on your vegetarian diet? Here's what you need to know about whether or not cheese is vegetarian.
