*Bell pepper snackers, or stuffed mini peppers, are a great appetizer or side dish. They are relatively easy to make, great for meal prep, and filled with nutrients that make them a healthy addition to your meal. Not only is this a great vegan option, but it is also gluten-free!*

 

## Are Mini Peppers Just Small Bell Peppers?

 

 

Sweet mini peppers are not considered small versions of bell peppers but are closely related to them. They tend to be sweeter in flavor and crunchier. Mini sweet peppers are usually red, orange, or yellow. What is great about mini peppers in comparison to bell peppers is that they are usually seedless, so deseeding them doesn’t take time.

## Should Peppers Be Precooked Before Stuffing?

 

 

Peppers can be precooked before stuffing, but since mini peppers are used instead of bell peppers, it is not necessary. The benefit of precooking can also depend on the type of stuffing used, like rice or other grains. If the stuffed pepper recipe is ultimately cooked, then precooking can be helpful as this will lessen the cooking time later on.

 

Peppers can also be blanched instead of precooking. Blanching is the process of placing them in boiling water for a short time, then quickly transferring them to an ice bath so that the enzymes will not continue to break down the peppers and make them mushy. This can be a great option, but there are also other easier ways to prep the peppers for stuffing.

### How Do You Keep Stuffed Peppers From Getting Soggy? 

 

 

Precooking can keep peppers from turning soggy. Peppers can be made up of up to 90% water, the majority of which is released while being cooked. If the peppers only go through one cooking process, the water will all be released at once, making it so the peppers could end up sitting in their own moisture, causing them to be soggy. Putting them through an initial cooking process before the final cooking process will keep them from falling apart.

 

Another way to avoid soggy stuffed peppers is to avoid using wet ingredients in the stuffing or find ways to make it so the wet ingredients are not so watery before adding them to the pepper stuffing. For example, if a pepper stuffing involves tomato sauce, put it in a saucepan on the stove to reduce it to a thicker consistency before adding it to the stuffing. Leftover rice can also be a great option, as rice sitting in the refrigerator is drier than freshly cooked rice. The drier rice can help to absorb any excess liquid to avoid that extra moisture making its way to the pepper.

### Why Are My Stuffed Peppers Bland?

 

 

Some of the more common reasons for stuffed peppers' lack of flavor include not having enough seasoning (especially salt), the filling not containing many strongly flavored ingredients (such as onion or garlic), or the peppers themselves not being cooked long enough to release their full flavor potential. Tasting the filling before stuffing and cooking the peppers is essential to ensure it is flavorful enough for your tastes.

### What to Pair with Stuffed Peppers

Many side dish options can go well with stuffed peppers. Stuffed peppers are easily customizable, whether by switching out the protein utilized or changing the seasonings. Because of this, so many side dish recipes have the potential to mesh well with stuffed peppers. Examples include a broccoli crunch salad, garlic bread, rice, steamed green beans, or grilled tofu.

### Lentil Stuffed Mini Peppers

**Yield:** 12

**Author:** Debra Klein

prep time: 15 M cook time: 40 M total time: 55 M

### ingredients:

- 1 cup dry lentils
- 3 cups water
- 1 lb. mini sweet peppers
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, small dice
- 12 oz. package frozen cauliflower rice (approx. 3 cups fresh)
- 3 cloves garlic, pressed
- 1 cup frozen corn
- 2 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp oregano
- 1 tsp coarse ground sea salt
- Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)
- 16 oz. jar prepared salsa
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro (optional garnish)
- 2 Tbsp hemp seeds (optional garnish)

### instructions:

## How To Make Lentil Stuffed Mini Peppers

1. Before cooking lentils, rinse in cold water, pick over to remove debris and drain.
2. It is not necessary to soak lentils before cooking, but you can to reduce cooking time by about half if you do.
3. Combine lentils and 3x their volume in water in a small saucepan over medium high heat. Bring to a boil and adjust heat to maintain a low simmer.
4. Cook until lentils are tender, approx. 15 minutes. Drain any liquid that wasn’t absorbed during cooking.
5. Preheat oven to 400. Line baking tray with unbleached parchment paper.
6. Prepare peppers: cut in half, through the stem. Remove seeds and ribs. Removing stems is optional: I like to leave the stems on for presentation. Brush with olive oil, sprinkle with S+P and place cut side up on prepared pan and cook for 20 minutes until beginning to soften.
7. Meanwhile, prepare the stuffing: heat heavy bottom skillet over medium heat. Swirl in oil and then add onion. Cook until it starts to soften, approx. 3 minutes. Add the spices, garlic and cook, stirring for 30 seconds, so garlic is fragrant but doesn’t burn. Then stir in the lentils, cauli-rice and corn. If you're using frozen cauliflower rice, It's ok to add that straight from the freezer. Add the salsa and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 2-3 minutes as flavors begin to marinate.
8. Scoop stuffing into each pepper, fill to heaping. The easiest way to do this with the mini peppers is to use two teaspoons (the way you would for dropping chocolate chip cookies) and scoop with one and use the back of the other to push what's in the first spoon into the mini pepper. Sprinkle with cilantro and hemp seeds if desired. Turn heat down to 350 and bake for 20 minutes until lightly browned and filling is hot.
