Healthy, because
In the peppers, the immune-strengthening vitamin C is found in higher quantities. They also provide vitamin A, which strengthens vision, especially in the dark, and ensures healthy and beautiful skin. The protein-rich mozzarella supports muscle building and, together with the minerals calcium and phosphorus, is important for strong bones and healthy teeth.

Tomato rice goes very well with baked peppers as a side dish. The filling can also be made from zucchini, mushrooms, corn or other vegetables that you have available.
