Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Wash the cherry peppers and carefully cut off the tops. Remove the seeds and membranes with a small spoon or paring knife to create a hollow cavity. Set the peppers aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, parsley, garlic, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Use a small spoon or piping bag to stuff each cherry pepper with the cheese mixture, filling them just to the brim.
Place the gluten-free breadcrumbs in a shallow bowl. Roll the open end of each stuffed pepper in the breadcrumbs to form a thin coating across the top.
Arrange the stuffed cherry peppers on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle the tops lightly with olive oil to help with browning.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the breadcrumb topping is golden brown.
Remove the peppers from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. They can be served warm or at room temperature as an appetizer or snack.
