A list of 5 healthy snack recipes that feature pepper and have 3 ingredients or less! A great resource to find easy, simple snack ideas in one place!
Yo yo snack loving friends out there in the real world! HI.
How are you? Hungry? GOOD!
Remember last month where we had 5 Simple Snacks with Avocados, and I told ya that I was gonna do one of these “simple snack recipes” post every month? Well, it’s the time of the month where we DO THAT.
This month we’re celebrating the wonderful, magically delicious vegetable that is the red pepper! I mean, you can use whatever color pepper that you <3<3<3 but red peppahs are my JAM.
So, here’s some simple “non-recipes” and more “ideas” to shove into your snack-munching mouth TODAY!
P.s today is Good Friday, which is a super-big deal. Enjoy your church service AND enjoy Easter with your families this weekend!
Spinach and Egg Stuffed Baked Peppers
- Half a red pepper
- Spinach
- 1 Egg
- Salt/pepper
Scrape out the seeds of the pepper half and cut just the top part of the stem off (don’t cup a big chunk out of your pepper, or the eggs will run out!) Then stuff some spinach inside the boom of pepper and CAREFULLY, crack and egg in the center. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and bake 350 degrees for 20-30 minutes, until your egg is cooked as much as you like it!
Pepper Nachos
- Pepper
- Cheddar Cheese
- Salsa
Simply de-seed your pepper and cut it into large chunks. Place them in a single layer on a large plate and sprinkle with grated cheddar cheese. Microwave them until the cheese is melty and then dip in salsa! You could also bake them if you wish!
Pepper and Hummus Turkey Roll-ups
- Organic turkey deli meat
- Hummus of choice
- Sliced red pepper
Place two pieces of lunch meat on top of each other (if your meat is really thick, you can probably use one slice, but I prefer 2) and then spread with hummus all over. Spread a line of sliced red pepper down the center of the avocado and roll up!
Grown Up Ants On a Log
- Thick slices of red pepper
- Hummus of choice
- Sun-dried tomatoes
Spread the slices of red pepper with hummus and then top with a few sun-dried tomatoes. SIMPLE.
Savory Cottage Cheese Stuffed Pepper
- Half a red pepper
- Low-fat cottage cheese
- Seasoning salt
Place the (cleaned!) red pepper half in a medium bowl and cover it with a lid (or a big plate, if you fancy like me) and pop it in the microwave for 1-2 minutes until fork tender. You could also lightly steam it in the oven if you wish! Then, in a small bowl, mix some cottage cheese (about half a cup or so) with seasoning salt, to taste. Then, simply stuff it into the steamed pepper and munch! The pepper can be left raw too, I just prefer it a little softer!
Go forth an enjoy the pepper goodness!
