Keto Bell Pepper Bites - Keto Recipes

Keto Bell Pepper Bites are ideal for anyone on the ketogenic diet. These bell pepper bites are very tasty and flavorful.

INGREDIENTS NOTES:

GREEN BELL PEPPER:

Green bell peppers are slightly bitterer but have fewer carbohydrates, whereas red, yellow, and orange bell peppers are sweeter. We have to pick a firm, fresh bell peppers in your preferred hue. We also have to use the small bell peppers as they are ideal for serving in small portions.

SHARP CHEDDAR CHEESE:

We use the sharp cheddar as it adds a rich, tangy flavor, but for a softer or spicier variation, you can add mozzarella or pepper jack. We have to use the full-fat shredded cheese for the best melty and gooey texture.

SOFTENED CREAM CHEESE:

We have to use softened cream cheese which contributes to making the smooth & creamy filling. We have to be sure to use the cream cheese that should be at an ambient temperature.

BACON:

Bacon adds a crisp and smoky taste; you can also use the cooked sausage in its place or leave it out for a vegetarian alternative.

SEASONING:

We can add the smoked paprika and garlic powder to make these bites more flavorful. You can add chili powder for heat or change the amount to suit the taste.

GREEN ONIONS:

We can add the green onions for a crispy garnish that balances the richness of the cheese & bacon.
