Stuffed cherry peppers are a flavorful appetizer or snack, popular in Italian and Mediterranean cuisine. These small, vibrant peppers are hollowed out and typically filled with a savory mixture such as prosciutto, creamy cheeses like ricotta or goat cheese, and spiced breadcrumbs. Some variations may include herbs, garlic, or even anchovies, depending on regional preferences. Cherry peppers are naturally rich in vitamins A and C, providing antioxidant benefits and supporting immune health. The filling adds protein and calcium, but nutritional content can vary based on ingredients used. While delicious, stuffed cherry peppers may be high in sodium and saturated fats, particularly when cured meats and full-fat cheese are included. Served as part of a balanced diet, they offer bold flavors and a satisfying bite. For lighter options, consider using low-fat cheeses or vegetarian fillings like roasted vegetables or quinoa.
