🥘Only 5 Ingredients Needed For Mini Bell Pepper Pizzas

• 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
• Pizza sauce- I typically use pizzeria style pizza sauce for this recipe because it's a little thicker
• Shredded mozzarella cheese- you can't have a pizza snack without the cheese! My other fav for this is a shredded Italian blend.
• Mini pepperoni- this fits well on the mini peppers. If you can't find it, buy regular size and cut into quarters.
• Pizza seasoning- my fav is McCormick's Get a Pizza This! You can make this recipe without it, but it does add additional flavors that take these mini pepper pizzas to the next level.

🔪How To Make Peppers Pizza

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

2. Step 2: Fill each with pizza sauce and cheese.

3. Step 3: Top with mini pepperoni and a dash of pizza seasoning. Bake for 10 minutes.

4. Step 4: Serve warm!

Hint: If you can, choose a rimmed baking pan that's only slightly bigger than the mini pizza peppers. This way, you can arrange them side by side without some of them falling over! I arrange the peppers on the pan before I fill them.

🫑Peppers Pizza Variations & Substitutions

The best part about making a peppers pizza is how easy it is to customize! Whether you need to swap an ingredient or just want to get creative with your flavors, the possibilities are endless:

• The Base: If you can't find sweet mini peppers, baby bell peppers work perfectly to create a delicious bell pepper pizza.
• The Sauce: Switch up the flavor profile by trading traditional red pizza sauce for a rich basil pesto or a creamy garlic sauce.
• The Cheese: If you're out of mozzarella, a shredded provolone or a pre-packaged Italian cheese blend melts beautifully.
• The Toppings: Have fun with your favorites! Swap the mini pepperoni for turkey pepperoni, cooked crumbled sausage, or crispy bacon bits. You can also load them up with veggies like diced mushrooms, onions, and black olives.

• Preheat oven to 400℉.
• Rinse the mini peppers; halve lengthwise and scoop out the membranes and seeds. Arrange the peppers on a small rimmed baking pan, lightly greased with olive oil.

• Depending on the size of the pepper, add 2-3 generous pinches of cheese to each. Tuck the cheese in to minimize spillage during baking.
• Add 2-3 mini pepperoni to each pepper.
• Sprinkle all the peppers with a dash of pizza seasoning.
• Bake, uncovered, in a 400 degree oven for 8-10 minutes, or until cheese is slightly bubbling and lightly browned.
• Allow to set and cool for a few minutes before serving.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container and keep refrigerated. Enjoy within 5 days.
• To reheat, place in a preheated 375 degree oven for 5-8 minutes, or until heated through.

Notes

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

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.

If you can, choose a rimmed baking pan that's only slightly bigger than the mini pizza peppers. This way, you can arrange them side by side without some of them falling over! I arrange the peppers on the pan before I fill them.
