Hummus Stuffed Mini Peppers

These quick and easy Hummus Stuffed Mini Peppers are a healthy appetizer or snack that's quick and easy to prepare. Filled with creamy hummus, and topped with crumbled feta cheese, olives, and chives, each crunchy, savory bite of these Mediterranean-inspired mini peppers will have everyone reaching for more!

When you're looking for a quick, healthy bite, it's hard to think of an option more satisfying than a sweet mini pepper. Crunchy and colorful, these tasty little peppers are mildly sweet and fun to eat.

One of our favorite ways to enjoy mini peppers is stuffing them with savory ingredients. This flavorful hummus stuffed mini pepper recipe is at the top of my list because it's incredibly easy to throw together and always tastes fresh and delicious.

For convenience, use store bought hummus, or try homemade (you can't go wrong with my Best Homemade Hummus and Roasted Red Pepper Hummus). Fill the pepper cavities, then top with crumbled feta, sliced olives, and chives for classic Mediterranean flavor.

This easy and simple cold stuffed mini peppers recipe is great for entertaining and also makes a healthy, nutritious snack. It can be made vegan friendly by using dairy free feta cheese.

😍Why You'll Love These Hummus Stuffed Mini Peppers

🫒Made With Classic Mediterranean Ingredients

• Sweet mini peppers- these peppers are mild and crunchy and are typically sold in pre-packaged bags (you can also use mini bell peppers for this recipe); try to get a pack that has a variety of colors and sizes that aren't too narrow or small
• hummus- use my homemade plain hummus, roasted red pepper hummus, or your favorite brand/flavor
• crumbled feta cheese- provides a tangy, savory bite; omit if preparing for a vegetarian or vegan plate (or use vegan feta, which doesn't contain animal rennet)
• sliced black olives- a few are placed on top of each pepper; I'll often omit these when preparing the recipe for kids
• diced fresh chives- provide a color pop and a mild onion crunch (not pictured above)

See recipe card for quantities.

🔪How To Make Hummus Stuffed Mini Peppers

1. Step 1: Rinse the mini peppers; halve and scoop out the membranes and seeds.

2. Step 2: Fill each pepper cavity with hummus.

3. Step 3: Sprinkle on crumbled feta.

4. Step 4: Top with olives and chives.

Hint: I like to keep the pepper stems on for aesthetic appeal. I also think it sometimes makes them easier to pick up!

🥣Easy Ingredient Substitutions

• Peppers: You can use baby bell peppers instead of sweet mini peppers.
• Vegan: Use dairy free feta cheese or simply omit the cheese and replace with a few chickpeas (toasted or untoasted) instead

Notes

A small melon scoop comes in handy for removing the membranes and seeds. I like to place the peppers under running water after I do this to flush them out to make sure there's no seeds remaining. Then I just pat them dry with a paper towel before filling.

Store in an airtight container and keep refrigerated. Enjoy within 2-3 days.
