Frequently Asked Questions
Yes! You can make the entire pizza ahead of time, keep them in airtight containers in the refrigerator, and then when you are ready to serve them, reheat them in the microwave or oven.
You can use whatever topping you prefer on pizza! Pepperoni, black olives, broccoli, sausage, or ground beef would all be great options to top these bell peppers.
Yes! You can broil them instead of baking them, but stick close to the oven. When broiling, things can burn very fast. Instead of baking for 10 minutes, you'll want to broil the peppers for 3-5 minutes or until the cheese is browned to your liking.
