Ingredients
Scale
Peppers
- 12 mini sweet peppers
Feta Filling
- 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting the stuffed peppers.
- Prepare Peppers: Cut each mini sweet pepper in half lengthwise and carefully remove the seeds to create vessels for the filling.
- Make the Feta Mixture: In a bowl, combine the crumbled feta cheese, olive oil, lemon juice, dried oregano, salt, and pepper; mix thoroughly until well blended.
- Stuff the Peppers: Carefully fill each pepper half with the prepared feta mixture, ensuring an even distribution.
- Arrange for Roasting: Place the stuffed peppers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
- Roast: Roast the peppers in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes until the peppers are tender and the feta is slightly golden on top.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the roasted stuffed mini peppers from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving to enhance their flavors and make them easier to handle.
Notes
- You can substitute dried oregano with fresh oregano for a brighter flavor.
- For added texture, sprinkle some toasted pine nuts over the stuffed peppers before serving.
- Serve these peppers as an appetizer or alongside a Mediterranean-themed meal.
- Adjust salt cautiously as feta cheese can be quite salty.
