Oh my goodness sweet mini peppers are just so great.

I have used them for so many low carb and WLS friendly meals…anything from Bell Pepper Nachoes to a quick stovetop dinner of Philly Cheesesteak Chicken!

I love keeping them in the house for a snack. I have been known to spread some hummus or Laughing Cow Cheese® inside a couple. I love how easy they are to work with and that I can use a couple for a dinner and leave the rest for later without worrying about wasting a large pepper.

And they are so sweet and delicious! I personally buy them at Aldi whenever they are available and the price is so reasonable.

This time around I decided to toss them in a pan on the stove top to add to my lean protein entree! Simple flavors that are so wonderful. Sometimes under-doing it is best!

How do you like you use sweet mini peppers?
