There’s no secret I love appetizers and the main reason I make them on such a regular basis is because I love eating them as snacks. And these yum and adorable stuffed mini peppers are the perfect bite size snack for a cheese and veggie lover as myself. And the best thing about these is they are ready in about 20 minutes, even less if you decide to skip the roasting part and use your mini peppers fresh.

These yummy stuffed small peppers are best served roasted and peeled. But the recipe works great with crispy, fresh mini peppers too. If you’re short on time the second option is best recommended!

Preheat the oven to 400 F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper then set it aside. Using a paring knife, cut a circle of about 1/2″ from the stem-end of the peppers. Remove the seeds and veins. Roast in the middle of your oven for about 10 minutes or until peppers begin to soften a little. I placed an extra tray on the lower level of my oven too as I didn’t want my peppers to get golden on the outside. I just wanted them softened just a tiny bit.

Remove from the oven, set aside and cool. Meanwhile mix cheeses and garlic. Using a small dessert spoon, fill each pepper with the cheese mixture. Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley, basil or dill. Enjoy our delicious cheese stuffed mini peppers!
