Steps

  2. In a bowl, mix the feta cheese, olives, herbs, salt, and pepper. Stuff the mini peppers with this mixture.
  3. Place the stuffed mini peppers on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and bake for 20-25 minutes until the peppers are tender.
  4. Serve hot and enjoy!

Tips for Mediterranean Stuffed Mini Peppers

  • Choose peppers that can stand upright on the baking sheet so the filling stays in place.
  • The peppers are ready when their skins look slightly wrinkled and the flesh yields easily to a fork.
  • Use a small spoon to fill the peppers neatly, and avoid packing the feta mixture tightly.

Drink pairing

A crisp, dry rosé
Its fresh acidity and light fruit complement the salty feta and olives without overwhelming the sweet peppers.

0% option: Sparkling water with a squeeze of lemon

Storage

Refrigerate leftovers in a covered container within 2 hours and keep for 3–4 days. Reheat until steaming hot before serving.

Frequently asked questions

Can I prepare these ahead?
You can mix the filling and refrigerate it covered for up to a day. For the best texture, fill the peppers shortly before baking.

How can I tell when the peppers are done?
They should look slightly wrinkled and feel tender when pierced, while still holding their shape.

What should I serve with stuffed mini peppers?
Serve them as an appetizer or alongside a simple green salad, warm pita, or grilled vegetables.
