Roasted Goat Cheese Stuffed Mini Bell Peppers

I know there have been people on social media using bell peppers instead of bread. They will add all of the goodness that goes into a sandwich, but in between two bell peppers to avoid all of the "carbs" in bread. Little do they know, that's how you suck the fun and enjoyment of eating a sandwich. Here's the thing though, bell peppers are absolutely delicious and a great source of vitamin C. So, I used them in a more fitting way and created these Roasted Goat Cheese Stuffed Mini Bell Peppers.

These are a great snack to make for yourself because not only is it a protein-friendly option, but it's a 3 ingredient snack that takes less than 10 minutes to prep. All you need are mini bell peppers, goat cheese, and Mike's hot honey.

Did I mention these are also a great gluten free appetizer you could serve at your future holiday get-togethers? Skip the crostini and try these. Your GF friends will thank you and your other friends will get to enjoy them as well! Let's get to it.
