These mini cream cheese poppers are so delicious and easy to make! Impress your friends with these as a cute and tasty appetizer, or have them as a snack. This recipe consists of only 5 ingredients (plus seasoning!) and if you don’t have coconut aminos, feel free to use soy sauce instead.

Prep Time: 3 minutes
Cook Time: 12 minutes
Total Time: 15 minutes
Serves: 1-2

Ingredients

4 mini sweet peppers
5 tbsp whipped cream cheese
1 tsp coconut aminos
1 tbsp green onions (plus more for garnish)
Black pepper (to taste)
Garlic powder (to taste)
1 tbsp shredded cheese (plus a little more for sprinkling)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Halve the peppers (the long way), and remove the seeds. Chop the green onion.
With a fork, in a small bowl, mix the rest of the ingredients until thoroughly combined. Use a dash of black pepper and garlic powder to start and adjust to taste.
Fill each pepper half with about 1/2 tbsp of the mixture.
Place filled peppers filling side up on a parchment-lined baking sheet, and bake for 10 minutes until they have softened.
Remove peppers from oven and top each with a small sprinkle of additional shredded cheese. Place peppers back in the oven and broil on high for about 2 minutes until cheese becomes bubbly and starts to brown.
Garnish with chopped green onions and enjoy!
