can you have bell peppers on induction?

the acceptable food list lists "peppers" but I assumed it meant "chile peppers"

what about bell peppers?

Re: Bell peppers..??

I think bell peppers are also allowed. At least I ate about 0.5 oz a few days ago, so I hope I didn't do anything wrong.

But considering that they only have 2 g of carbs in 1 ounce, I don't see any reason why they wouldn't be ok.

OOOHHHH.......for dinner last night I had this:

Sweet red bell pepper stuffed with cooked pork sausage and shredded cheese over it. Stick in the oven on 350 for about 20 minutes until pepper is soft. HEAVEN!!!!! Even before this WOL I ate them.

Eat them and enjoy!

I love stuffed bell peppers too with a little gooey cheese on top. I eat this meal at least three times a week. they are safe for induction

I've also stuffed bell peppers with chicken salad (chicken, mustard, mayo, celery seed, pepper) and topped with cheese, induction-legal! Just put them in the oven until the cheese is gooey and melted and starting to brown.

Holy shnikes, stuffed peppers... I used to make those all the time, why didn't I think of that? Mmm, my second week of induction just got a little better! Thanks for the idea, guys!

Re: Bell peppers..??

Are yellow, green and red bell peppers all equal on the carb scale?

No. The different colors have a different net carb amount---they're all less than 5 net carbs though. They also have a different vitamin content. Red bell peppers have more Vitamin C per cup than an orange.

Re: Bell peppers..??

what I made was Italian sausage (in bits) sauteed with bell pepper. onion, and 2 tblsp of Walden Farms bruscetta sauce served on a bed of creamed cauliflower ("fauxtatoes")

IT WAS WONDERFUL....

Re: Bell peppers..??

Lori, if you have leftovers of the sausage-pepper mix, use it as a filling for an omelette or as a quiche filling--- it's yummy way to recycle leftovers and save time on cooking a completely "new" meal. Another yummy recycle recipe is to heat the leftovers and wrap it in large lettuce leaves.
