These stuffed mini sweet peppers are perfect for snacking/bite-size Party Appetizer.
Our favorite thing to do while watching a movie or a game night is to munch on a bowl of Nachos and skipping our dinners…
When we first saw these colorful peppers in the produce section, we got it without knowing what to do at first place … so they stayed in the fridge for almost a week then to only finish off we made nachos by stuffing sweet peppers with nachos and we fell in love with these beauties from then on we get these mini Sweet peppers very often but with different stuffing every time.
You can make with only three ingredients like: Pico-de-gala(salsa), mini peppers and cheese.
To make it Keto friendly, use any cooked eggs or meat that you prefer and top it with cheese.
Few stuffings that my family liked are:
- (Soya granules(Veg crubles) cooked with spices.
- Paneer(Indian Cottage cheese) mixed with spices.
- Boiled/Scrambled Eggs with added spicesCooked meat with onions and spices(Chicken or Lamb)
