Sweet Mini Peppers
This recipe is inspired by a recipe made by one of my neighbors, Mae. Let me tell you, she can cook. Anytime we get together, I can’t wait to see what she is going to whip up. This time, it was an appetizer. A simple recipe involving mini bell peppers, goat cheese, and a sprinkling of paprika.
Mind blown.
These 3-Ingredient Stuffed Mini Peppers Recipe are so addictive, you’ll find you make them again and again.
It made me reminisce on just how often I over-do, in every area of my life. Family plans, dinner plans, craft projects, etc. It’s like a disease.
Yet, often the simplest things in life are what we cherish most from day to day. A favorite song on the radio. A kind note from a friend. A piece of good chocolate.
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
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 Peppers 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.
Frequently Asked Questions
How else can I cook stuffed mini peppers?Besides the oven, you can cook these stuffed peppers in the smoker or on the grill! In the smoker, cook on high for about 30 minutes until the cheese is bubbling. This will infuse a lovely smokey flavor. On the grill, cook at a medium heat for about 20 minutes!
How should I serve this stuffed peppers appetizer?These peppers are best right out of the oven when they are warm and bubbly. I recommend serving them right away on a platter to prevent anyone getting burnt. You can serve alongside other appetizers like my sunburst pull apart bread, jalapeño hushpuppies, and some homemade mozz sticks!

Hi Heidi,
Absolutely! They should keep in an airtight container, in the freezer, for up to 3 months.
Easy and delicious. I used an air fryer, 10 minutes at 350 degrees and they came out perfect. Thank you.
