Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Mini sweet bell peppers
- 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.33 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.125 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Wash and dry the mini sweet bell peppers. Slice each pepper in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes using a small knife or spoon.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until the ingredients are well incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
Using a spoon or a piping bag, stuff each pepper half with the cheese mixture, filling it generously but not overflowing.
Place the stuffed peppers cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet, arranging them in a single layer.
Bake the peppers in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese filling is melted and bubbly and the peppers are tender.
Optional: Sprinkle the baked peppers with fresh chopped parsley for added color and flavor before serving.
Serve warm as an appetizer or snack. Enjoy!
