    Sweet Mini Bell Peppers

    I simply love these little sweet peppers. I always buy them in a bag from Trader Joe's. So bright and beautiful, they are instant mood boosters.

    They are great for snacking especially with hummus. I add them in salads and other dinner recipes, and of course love them for stuffing recipes.

    The mini bell peppers are excellent for stuffing. They hold their shape well and the flavor is subtle enough to go well with just about anything.

    These peppers have a bit of sweet crunch when eaten raw. They cook quickly and soften up nicely. I love them slightly charred.

    We use shredded Pepper Jack cheese for stuffing. It adds tad bit spicy taste. But feel free to swap in any other melty cheese that you have on hand.

    The beauty of this recipe is that it is adaptable to your taste and preferences. This is our classic recipe—once you master it, feel free to start experimenting

    • Swap for jalapeno or sweet banana peppers
    • Skip potatoes and use only cheese and bread crumbs
    • Change up taco seasoning to other flavors like Italian or Masala.

    Nothing fancy or complicated here, just fresh, flavorful food tossed and layered together and baked / grilled until perfectly tender and tasty.

    Ingredients

    Exact measurements are listed in the recipe card below. Here's what I used

      • Multi Color Mini Sweet Bell Peppers
      • Boiled Mashed Potatoes
      • Taco Seasoning
      • Pepper Jack Cheese
      • Fresh Garlic
      • Oil Spray

    Display of ingredients needed to make cheese and potato stuffed Mini Sweet Peppers.

    How To Make

    Boil the potatoes. Peel and mash them smooth

    Wash the peppers and pat dry them using paper towel. Using a knife, slit top side of each pepper lengthwise. I leave the stem.

    If there are some seeds and membranes – remove those with your fingers or with a paring knife.

    In a mixing bowl, add mashed potatoes, minced garlic, cheese, taco seasoning, and salt. Mix the stuffing nicely.

    Using a spoon, fill each pepper cavity with the stuffing.

    Lightly spray some oil over the stuffed peppers. Arrange them in single layer on air fryer basket or baking sheet. Don't over crowd.

    Bake/Grill/air fry as per choice. The peppers are done in 8-10 minutes. They are done when they nicely sizzle and get some char.

    Serve Hot. Enjoy !

    Baking / Air Frying Time and Temperature

      • If making in the Oven : Preheat oven to 350°F and bake for 15 minutes
      • Cooking on Grill : Heat the grill  and cook for 10 minutes.
