Preheat oven to 400°F. Halve each pepper lengthwise. Remove and discard seeds but leave the stalks. Place peppers, cut side down, onto a foil-lined greased baking sheet. Bake 10 min.

Meanwhile, chop parsley. In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high. Add onion and cook 3 min., until soft. Add ground beef and season with paprika, Italian seasoning, salt (in moderation), and pepper. Cook 5 min., until beef is browned, stirring often. Add garlic and cook 1 min. Remove skillet from heat. Stir in peas, sunflower seeds, and ¼ cup parsley. Season with salt (in moderation) and pepper.

Remove peppers from oven. Use tongs to flip peppers cut side up and season with salt (in moderation). Spoon beef mixture into the cavity of each pepper. Return to the oven and cook 10 min. Garnish with remaining ¼ cup parsley.
