Method

1.Preheat oven to 200°C/400°F.

3.Carefully cut tops off capsicums; discard tops. Discard seeds and membranes, leaving capsicum intact. Spoon rice mixture into capsicums; place capsicums on oven tray, spray with oil. Roast 10 minutes. Cover loosely with foil; roast about 20 minutes or until capsicums are just soft.
