When you need to make a bite-sized appetizer for a crowd, these Everything Bagel Guacamole-Stuffed Mini Peppers come in really handy.

If you’re already baking other things in the oven, you won’t have to worry about finding room for these – there’s no baking required!

No cooking on the stovetop either.

These low carb mini peppers just need a bit of chopping, mashing and sprinkling and before you know it, they’re ready to go.

And you end up with crunchy peppers filled with a creamy guacamole and topped with crunchy, salty everything bagel spice mix (usually a mix of poppy seeds, white and black sesame seeds, dried onion flakes, dried garlic flakes and sea salt; sometimes it’s also called everything but the bagel spice mix).

And while I listed all the different diets these mini peppers are perfect for (gluten-free, keto, etc.), that’s just an added bonus. They’re so good, people love them no matter what else they eat!

5 ingredients + one bowl = lots of tasty little party bites. What could be better?

 

What you need for Everything Bagel Guacamole-Stuffed Mini Peppers

Ingredients:

• one pound mini peppers, any color
• 2 large, ripe avocados
• 1 teaspoon lemon or lime juice
• 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
• 1.5 tablespoons everything but the bagel spice mix

Equipment:

• a cutting board
• a chef’s knife
• a medium mixing bowl
• a large spoon
• a fork or potato masher
• measuring spoons
• a small sandwich baggie (optional, see instructions below)
• a serving platter

How to make Everything Bagel Guacamole-Stuffed Mini Peppers

Step 1: Slice off and discard the tops of the mini peppers. Then cut the peppers in half lengthwise. Use a spoon to scrape out the seeds and any extra white ribs inside the peppers.

Step 2: Cut the avocados in half lengthwise and remove the pits. Scoop the flesh into a medium mixing bowl. Add the lemon or lime juice and the salt, then mash with a fork or potato masher until fairly creamy.

Step 3: You can then scoop the mashed avocado into the peppers with a spoon or you can add the mashed avocado to a sandwich baggie. Snip off one corner of the baggie and squeeze out the avocado into the peppers (this will make assembling them less messy).

Since mini peppers vary in size, there’s no set amount of filling. But don’t worry! It’s not an exact science.

Step 4: Then sprinkle over the everything bagel spice mix and serve!
