- Preheat and Prepare Peppers: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.

- Bake Until Golden: Return the stuffed peppers to the oven and bake for another 20 minutes, or until the Parmesan cheese is golden brown and bubbly.

- For a spicier version, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or chopped jalapeños.
- The low-carb garlic cream sauce can be homemade or store-bought; ensure it complements your dietary preferences.
- Using fresh pineapple instead of canned can enhance the freshness and reduce added sugars.
- Store any leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat gently.
