Storage information

Store the cooked peppers and tzatziki separately in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat the peppers until piping hot and add fresh tzatziki afterwards. The stuffed peppers can be frozen for up to 2 months, but freeze them without the tzatziki and feta for the best texture.

Tip

Lower fat: Use fat-free Greek yogurt,.
