Servings: 8 servings
Calories: 95kcal
Ingredients
- 1 pound mini peppers, any colors
- 2 large, ripe avocados
- 1 teaspoon lemon or lime juice
- ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1½ tablespoons everything but the bagel spice mix
Instructions
- First slice off the tops of the mini peppers and discard the tops. Cut the peppers in half lengthwise. Use a spoon to scrape out the seeds and any extra white ribs inside the peppers.
- 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.
- Scoop the mashed avocado into the peppers with a spoon or 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.
- Then sprinkle over the everything bagel spice mix and serve.
Notes
With only 3.1 grams net carbs per serving, this is great for anyone following the keto diet.
Make ahead/storage
The peppers can be cut in half and kept in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Once the peppers are fully assembled (with the guacamole and everything bagel topping), they are best enjoyed immediately.
Substitutions and variations
- Instead of everything bagel spice mix, top the stuffed peppers with cooked, diced bacon.
- Instead of mini peppers, slice a large cucumber into coins. Top the coins with guacamole and everything bagel spice mix.
- Replace the guacamole with cream cheese (dairy-free if necessary)
