Ingredients

• 20 pieces Cherry peppers
• 4 ounces Low-fat cream cheese
• 2 tablespoons Plain nonfat Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 clove Garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 small spritz Olive oil spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Rinse the cherry peppers and use a small paring knife to carefully remove the tops and core out the seeds. Set them aside on a clean surface.

Step 3

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the low-fat cream cheese, Greek yogurt, parsley, minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Using a small spoon or piping bag, carefully stuff each cherry pepper with the prepared filling. Ensure they are packed but not overflowing.

Step 5

Place the stuffed peppers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a nonstick baking mat.

Step 6

Lightly spray the tops of the stuffed peppers with a small spritz of olive oil. This will assist with even roasting and add a touch of flavor.

Step 7

Bake the stuffed cherry peppers in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden and the peppers are tender.

Step 8

Remove the peppers from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.

Step 9

Arrange the peppers on a platter and garnish with extra chopped parsley if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature.
