1
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
-
2
Line a sheet pan with foil.
-
3
Place peppers on the baking sheet and roast 8 to10 minutes (small peppers less than 2 inches long will cook faster), turning them over halfway through.
-
4
The peppers should be soft but not charred, except perhaps in a few spots.
-
5
Remove from heat and allow to cool.
-
6
If there are some larger peppers in the bag and they havent softened in 10 minutes, return to oven for another 5.

-
9
Scrape down sides of bowl and process for another minute.
-
10
Transfer to a pastry bag fitted with a 3/8-inch star tip.
-
11
When peppers have cooled, slice off ends just below the shoulders.
-
12
Carefully remove any seeds and membranes.
-
13
The peppers should be intact, but sometimes, they split down one side.
-
14
Place any that have not split upright in a small glass or cup to facilitate filling, and pipe in goat cheese mix.
-
15
Lay those that have split on a plate, pipe on the filling and close the pepper around the filling.

16
Arrange stuffed peppers on a plate or platter.
