Key Ingredients

• Mini Sweet Peppers
• Spreadable cheese
• Everything Bagel Seasoning

If you are looking to get the kids more empowered in the kitchen like I am, this Stuffed Mini Peppers recipe is the perfect recipe to get them involved in. Depending on your child’s age, you may want to prep the mini sweet peppers but cutting them in half, but then have the kids stuff them with the spreadable cheese and sprinkle on the seasoning.

Simple Substitutions

We used Laughing Cow Original Creamy Swiss Spreadable Cheese to stuff our mini sweet peppers, but if you would like to try something different I recommend whipped cream cheese, plain Greek yogurt or another variety of Laughing Cow. If you or the kids like a little bit of spice, their pepper jack variety is also very good.

Cooking Variations

We love eating these cold, right after preparation. But they are also delicious warmed up. If you would like to serve yours warm, you can bake them at 350 degrees for 10 minutes or out them in the air fryer at 300 degrees for 5 minutes.

Pro Lunchbox Packing Tip: Add the seasoning right before serving these everything bagel stuffed peppers or in the morning if adding to lunchboxes. The Everything Bagel Seasoning loses it’s crunch after sitting overnight in the fridge. Be sure to add something extra to the lunchbox, like fresh fruit and/or Crispy Green Snacks for a well-rounded meal.
