- Colorful addition to salads
- Roasted side dish
- Stuffed pepper appetizers
You can enjoy these mini sweet peppers in many ways. Slice them thinly and add them raw to salads for a sweet crunch. They are also excellent when roasted; simply toss them with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper, then roast until tender and slightly caramelized. For a quick appetizer, halve them, remove the seeds, and stuff them with cheese or a seasoned filling before baking. Their mild sweetness also makes them a great addition to stir-fries or fajitas, where they soften and blend with other ingredients.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike larger bell peppers, these mini versions are typically sweeter and have thinner walls, making them more tender when cooked. Their smaller size also means they cook faster and are ideal for whole or halved preparations, whereas larger peppers are usually cut into strips or chunks.

How to keep the rest
To keep the remaining peppers fresh, store them unwashed in a plastic bag in the crisper drawer of your refrigerator. They should be used within a week or two for the best quality and flavor. Avoid storing them at room temperature, as this can cause them to soften and spoil more quickly.
