  7. If desired, add additional toppings such as sliced jalapeños, diced avocado, or chopped cilantro for extra flavor and freshness.

  8. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  9. Once done, remove the Bell Pepper Nachos from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
