STUFFED MINI PEPPERS



Stuffed Mini Peppers image

Stuffed Mini Peppers are a delicious appetizer that's like a healthier and less spicy version of a jalapeño popper, and they can be roasted in the oven or cooked on the grill!

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb mini sweet peppers
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
salt
10 ounce log goat cheese (softened (soft chèvre))
2/3 cup grated parmesan ((40g by weight))
1 tbsp minced garlic
2 jalapeños (seeded and finely chopped (1/3 cup, measured))
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425F*.
  • De-stem the peppers if desired (I leave them on for aesthetics), then cut each in half. Place in a bowl with the olive oil and 1/4 tsp of salt, and toss well to coat.
  • In a large bowl, stir to combine the goat cheese, parmesan, garlic, jalapeno, and black pepper.
  • Fill the cut peppers with small spoonfuls of filling. You should have just enough filling to fill the peppers with a generous amount, coming slightly over the tops of the peppers.
  • Roast the peppers for about 20-25 minutes, until the peppers are soft and the cheese is golden on the edges. Enjoy!

MINI STUFFED PEPPERS



Mini Stuffed Peppers image

Think jalapeno poppers but healthier and you control the heat. I wanted to keep it light and vegetarian but feel free to add crumbled cooked turkey bacon to the mix, if desired.
