Mini Sweet Peppers

Ingredients You Need
Using only three grocery items, you can bake up 3-ingredient Stuffed Mini Peppers in 10 minutes.
- Small peppers (mini bell peppers and/or jalapeños)
- Garlic and herb-flavored goat cheese
- A light drizzle of honey
Mini Pepper Tips & Tricks
- Use creamy, not crumbly goat cheese! Make sure you choose a chevre goat cheese, since this kind is super cream.
- Don’t over stuff! Make sure you fill the peppers just until each is filled to the edge. You don’t want to over-stuff and have too much cheese-to-pepper ratio!
- Leave the stem on for easy eating. The stem is great to leave on because you can use that as a little handle when eating them. Serve with a little bowl for people to discard their stems!
What Can I Add to This Mini Sweet Pepper Recipe?
The base combination of mini peppers and goat cheese is extremely versatile. To mix things up, consider adding crumbled chorizo or toasted nuts. The possibilities are endless.
But remember to keep it simple.
