Break apart sausage as it cooks. Cook for 5 min. and add carrots and zucchini and cook another 5 min - 10 minutes until veggies are soft. Add cooked sweet potato and crushed tomatoes and stir.
Cut top of peppers off and remove seeds. Place carrot mixture inside each pepper. Put into a small baking pan and place in preheated 325° oven for 30 min. or until pepper is soft.
