1
Cook olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté the diced onion until transparent, stirring periodically.
2
Reduce heat to medium-low and stir occasionally until onion caramelises, 40–60 minutes.

Note: De-glaze the pan with a few tablespoons of water if the onion starts drying out or sticking. Transfer caramelised onion to a cutting board and chop thinly.
4
Preheat oven to 400°F and halve and seed all peppers. Mix the peppers with 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a bowl. Season with sea salt.
5
Place peppers in a single layer on parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 8 minutes in preheated oven. Let peppers cool from the oven.
6
Mix cream cheese, diced caramelised onion, garlic, Italian spice, and sea salt in a bowl. Mix everything. Heat the oven to 400°F if not warmed.
7
Scoop cream cheese into peppers with a spoon. Finish baking for 8–10 minutes until the cream cheese is golden brown.

Add chopped green onion, red pepper flakes, cheddar cheese, and sour cream to the stuffed peppers.
