Mini Pepper Pizza Poppers

These Mini Pepper Pizza Poppers are sure to be a hit! Feel free to customize the pepper stuffing as you please: you can leave out the spinach or add extra chopped or shredded veggies like carrots or zucchini. Topping the “pizzas” is a great way to let your little chefs get involved and add what they’d like on top of each pepper. Also, if you want to make this dish dairy-free, feel free to use a cheese alternative or leave out the cheese entirely. It will still taste great!

"Learn to Love Veggies" Tip

One of the best ways to get kids excited about vegetables is to pair them with kid-friendly flavors that they love. Pizza is one of those things that kids usually can’t get enough of, right? Not only are these stuffed peppers “pizza-fied,” they are mini 
which makes them even more fun!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup cooked quinoa or rice
  • 1/2 cup marinara sauce
  • 1/2 cup baby spinach, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (optional)
  • 10 to 12 mini sweet peppers, halved lengthwise and seeds and ribs removed
  • Additional toppings: sliced olives, pepperoni, or anything else you’d like

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet in parchment paper or aluminum foil.
  2. In a medium-sized bowl, mix quinoa, marinara sauce, chopped spinach, and a 1/4 cup of the cheese.
  3. Stuff each pepper half with about a teaspoon or so of the quinoa mixture then place on the prepared baking pan. Once peppers are all filled, sprinkle each one with a pinch of the remaining cheese and top with any additional toppings.
  4. Bake peppers until cheese is melted and lightly browned, 12 to 15 minutes. Serve warm.
