Prep Time: 25 min.
These delicious stuffed mini peppers, made to look like carrots and filled with spicy chili hummus, are the cutest Easter appetizer.
This recipe is an easy and fun savory snack and a great alternative to cream cheese stuffed peppers.
If you are not a fan of anything spicy, try goat cheese, salsa, whipped feta, or even a cream cheese mixture with bacon or any shredded cheese you like.
These mini peppers can easily be made beforehand to enjoy that extra time with friends and family. All you need to do is prepare the peppers, the eyes, and the mouth. Then, wait with the filling and assembly until your guests arrive.
