Equipment
- baking sheet
- mixing bowl
Ingredients
- 12 whole bell peppers sweet, mini size
- 8 oz vegan cream cheese
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ½ cup bread crumbs Panko - plain or Italian seasoned for more flavor
- 3 tablespoon fresh herbs chopped cilantro, green onions or chives - your choice - for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°
- Wash peppers. Slice in half lengthwise (don't cut off top of peppers). Remove seeds. Pat dry with a clean towel.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, onion powder, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, salt.
- Using a small spoon or spreader, fill pepper halves with cream cheese mixture.
- Place peppers on a baking sheet. (I suggest first lining the sheet with parchment paper or an oven-proof silicone baking mat for easier clean up.)
- Sprinkle the tops of the peppers with bread crumbs.
- Bake at 375° for 15 - 20 minutes, or when the peppers look slightly wrinkled and breadcrumbs are lightly browned.
- Place onto a platter, board or tray. Sprinkle with a small amount of chopped cilantro, chives or green onions. Serve hot with a side of vegan ranch dressing or our fabulous easy vegan tzatziki sauce.
- Enjoy!
