Ingredients
- 20 pieces Cherry peppers
- 8 ounces Cream cheese (dairy or non-dairy, soy-free)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (finely chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese (optional, or soy-free vegan alternative)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Wash the cherry peppers and pat them dry. Carefully cut off the tops and remove the seeds and membranes to hollow them out. Set the peppers aside.
Step 3
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the cream cheese, garlic powder, smoked paprika, chopped parsley, Parmesan cheese (if using), olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the filling is smooth and evenly combined.
Step 4
Using a small spoon or a piping bag, fill each hollowed-out cherry pepper with the cream cheese mixture. Ensure the filling is slightly mounded on top for a nice presentation.
Step 5
Place the stuffed cherry peppers upright in a baking dish lined with parchment paper or lightly greased with olive oil.
Step 6
Bake the peppers in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until they are slightly softened and the tops of the filling are lightly golden.
Step 7
Remove the peppers from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
Step 8
Serve warm or at room temperature as an appetizer or snack. Garnish with additional parsley if desired.
