For everyone that isn’t a fan of spicy foods, these mild jalapeno poppers are a winner! Baked mini sweet peppers filled with cream cheese, spices, and bacon!
Mini Jalapeno Peppers
There were so many different names I could have called this recipe. Keto crack mini sweet peppers was one of them.
Cream cheese stuffed peppers was another name but since everyone knows what jalapeno poppers are, I added that to the name, too. But these aren’t your typical jalapeno poppers.
Instead of stuffing jalapeno peppers with cream cheese, and I sliced mini sweet peppers and used them. I still mixed in some diced jalapenos go give them some spice, but these little poppers are delightfully mild!
In fact, if you really don’t like spicy food at all, you can leave them out. They taste just as good with or without the jalapenos.
Baked Mini Sweet Peppers
It only takes about 30 minutes to make these tasty and filling baked mini sweet peppers and there are just 5 grams net carbs in two poppers! I cut the peppers in half, so there are 5 grams net carbs in each whole stuffed pepper, or two halves.
I like to whip them up for lunch and then eat them with a bowl of Korean Cucumber Salad. Talk about a flavor-packed lunch and altogether that’s just 7 grams net carbs for the meal.
Keto Jalapeno Poppers
If you like the combination of cream cheese, ranch dressing, and bacon, then you might like my creamy skillet keto crack chicken recipe. There are a lot of crack chicken recipes out there – and they all use chicken, cream cheese, ranch dressing, and bacon.
That’s why I almost called these crack baked peppers. But since I added jalapeno peppers to them, I called them jalapeno poppers.
But they really are a cross between crack chicken (without the chicken) and jalapeno poppers! That combination of cream cheese, ranch dressing, and bacon, is out of this world. It’s just so perfect.
Keto Appetizers
These colorful, cheesy, baked mini sweet peppers will look perfect on a serving tray at your next party. No one will even care that they are keto-friendly! They just taste that good!
Serve them with other delicious appetizers. For something tangy, make keto pickled deviled eggs.
For more spice, make baked stuffed poblano peppers. And guests love individual keto charcuterie jars.
