Stuffed Mini Peppers
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!
Ingredients
- 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
Directions
- 1
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!
