Ingredients:
- 1 lb mini sweet bell peppers
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 0.125 tsp sea salt
- 8 oz block feta cheese, drained
- 2 tbsp full fat Greek yogurt
- 0.25 cup Kalamata olives, finely minced
- 2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh mint, chiffonade
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 clove garlic, grated into a paste
- 0.5 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp fresh lemon zest
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice 1 lb mini sweet bell peppers in half lengthwise, keeping the stems on if you like the look.
- Remove seeds and white ribs. Note: This ensures there's plenty of room for that 8 oz block feta mixture.
- Toss peppers with 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil and 0.125 tsp sea salt. Roast for 5 minutes until slightly softened.
- Grate 1 clove garlic and zest 1 tsp lemon. Finely mince 0.25 cup Kalamata olives, 2 tbsp fresh dill, and 1 tbsp fresh mint.
- In a medium bowl, crumble the feta and mix with 2 tbsp full fat Greek yogurt, 1 tsp dried oregano, 0.5 tsp crushed red pepper flakes, 1 tbsp honey, and your prepped herbs/garlic.
- Stir until the mixture is thick and creamy but still has small pebbles of feta for texture.
- Use a small spoon to fill each par roasted pepper half. Note: Don't pack it too tightly or the pepper might split.
- Return to the oven for 8-10 minutes until the cheese is warm and the pepper edges are blistered.
- Remove from the oven and sprinkle with any remaining fresh herbs while the cheese is still tacky.
