Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare the Peppers: Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. Lightly brush the outside with olive oil and place them upright in a baking dish.
Make the Filling: In a bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, minced garlic, chopped fresh herbs, half of the grated Parmesan, salt, and pepper. Mix until well blended and creamy.

Add Toppings: Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese over the stuffed peppers.
Bake: Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
Serve: Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and garnish with fresh basil and other toppings.
