I love jalapeño poppers. Whenever my friends bring them over to have as a side with dinner, I go absolutely crazy for them. I can’t seem to help myself, and I eat way too many. But jalapeño poppers are spicy. Some peppers pack more heat than I am comfortable eating, and my daughter can’t handle the spice at all.
So I’ve made a kid-friendly, heart-burn friendly version with the milder, sweeter bell pepper. Better still, I’ve opted for mini bell peppers, so they’re easier for small hands to pick up and enjoy.
These bite-sized snacks are flavorful and fun to eat. I regularly make them for breakfasts, lunches, and snacks for me and for my family.
Mini bell pepper poppers are a great source of vitamin C and fiber. Additionally, cream cheese and bacon are full of protein. Just be careful, though. Their small size makes it easy to eat a lot, so if you’re counting calories, try to portion them out to suit your needs.
If you prefer a bigger bell pepper recipe, give my easy egg-stuffed peppers a try. They’re also high in vitamin c, fiber, and protein. And their larger size makes them more filling.
As much as I love bell pepper recipes, I absolutely hate removing the core and seeds. It’s time consuming and messy, and it’s the one step that slows me down whenever I cook. I can’t count the times I’ve accidently dropped a pepper in the trash while I was scraping away the seeds.
If you also struggle to core your peppers, consider buying a Jalepino corer from Amazon. It’s small enough that it works well on mini bell peppers, but it works great on a variety of vegetables.
Of course, you don’t have to buy them from Amazon. I’ve seen them at a few stores, including Walmart. If you do click on an affiliate link, however, I would receive a small commission as an Amazon associate.
I love these mini bell pepper poppers. They’re so yummy and fun to make. But I enjoy your feedback even more than I enjoy eating healthy snacks.
