Oven-baked vegetables are sooo delicious! Over 400ºF, it’s usually roasting and they are equally delicious. However, this threshold is not set în stone. What is certain is that you can fill those baked bell peppers with a mixture made with red beans and cream cheese and then serve everything topped with a tomato sauce. Smoking delicious!
