Ingredients
16 ounces mini sweet peppers
1 (8-ounce) block cream cheese, softened
¼ cup sour cream
1–2 green onions, finely chopped
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
1 tablespoon fresh dill, finely chopped
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper, to taste
Optional: additional fresh dill for garnish (“carrot tops”)
Instructions
Wash and dry the mini sweet peppers.
Slice each pepper in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, green onions, parsley, dill, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Mix until smooth and well combined.
Spoon or spread the cream cheese mixture into the hollow center of each pepper half.
Smooth the filling with a knife or small spatula.
Arrange the filled peppers on a serving platter.
For a decorative presentation, insert a small sprig of fresh dill into the top of each pepper to resemble a carrot top.
Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Notes
Allow the cream cheese to soften completely for easier mixing.
These can be prepared several hours in advance and stored covered in the refrigerator.
Add crispy bacon bits, shredded cheddar cheese, or everything bagel seasoning for extra flavor.
Use a piping bag for a cleaner, more decorative presentation.
Best served chilled.
