Mash the filling

Fork-mashed feta with a little oil spreads easily and melts into the pepper cavities as they roast.

No oil on the skins

The pepper halves roast fine on their own. Oil the basket or use parchment so the cheese does not stick.

Single layer

Stuffed halves need space so the feta can brown without steaming. Two batches for a full bag of peppers.
