Tip: start checking the doneness of your peppers after 5 or 6 minutes. With varying sizes of peppers and microwave wattage, cooking times could vary. Peppers will be slightly “shriveled” but tender. It’s okay because you are going to stuff them with cooked ingredients and this will reduce oven cooking time.
