Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Prepare the quinoa by rinsing it under cold water until the water runs clear. Then, combine the rinsed quinoa and vegetable broth in a pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, cover and let it cook for 15 minutes, or until the quinoa has absorbed all the broth and is fluffy.

Step 3

While the quinoa is cooking, heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, cooking until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Add the tomato sauce, cumin, and smoked paprika to the onion and garlic. Stir well and simmer for a few minutes until the flavors blend together.

Step 5

Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds. Set aside.

Step 6

Once the quinoa is done, combine it in a large bowl with the black beans, corn kernels, diced tomatoes, and half of the tomato sauce mixture. Mix well.

Step 7

Spoon the quinoa mixture into the bell peppers, pressing down slightly to pack it in.

Step 8

Arrange the stuffed peppers in a baking dish and pour the remaining sauce over the top.

Step 9

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the peppers are tender.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
