It seemed weird to put an egg on the top but it was neat to watch it cook in the oven. Make sure to create a little area for the egg to sit in so it doesn’t slide off. The whole family got involved in this one. It was a lot of fun!

The chickpeas made it feel like we were eating meat for my meat loving family. But if your family really balks at a meat-free meal, check out the bell pepper taco bake. Also, be aware that harissa sauce, which is a key ingredient in this recipe, is spicy! Originally from Tunisia, harissa sauce is usually made with a variety of hot peppers and other herbs and spices. If you’re not into spicy food, you may want to consider a milder sauce or use tomatoes or other bell peppers as the base instead.

This tasty dish originally came from Weight Watchers. I love adapting their recipes to suite my family’s tastes without increasing the point value! Be sure to check out my other Weight Watchers recipes. The difference with this one is that I did was use garlic salt instead of regular salt and I mixed the harissa right into the pan instead of spooning it on top of each one. (What can I say, we like the spice!)

My biggest challenge with this recipe was finding a baking dish to fit 6 peppers. My Corning Ware 4-quart casserole dish worked perfectly.

This is a great meal to prepare beforehand and toss in the oven to bake when you get home from work. If you make it early in the week, you’ll have leftovers to bring for lunch. Or you could freeze them and have an easy reheat meal on nights when you’re too busy to cook.
