Easy Stuffed Jalapeños
These stuffed jalapenos make a great side dish. These peppers are stuffed with fresh garlic, and cheese and baked to perfection.
Servings: 5 people
Ingredients
- 10 jalapenos red or green
- 4 tablespoon olive oil
- ¼ tsp of both pink salt or sea salt and pepper or more to taste
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- 4 large cloves of garlic grated
- 1 ½ cups Shredded Mozzarella or Italian style Cheese
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 400.
- Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- Wash, half, and de-seed jalapenos. I like to leave a few seeds for some heat. If you don't like a lot of heat you can remove all seeds.
- Place cut and de-seeded peppers to the prepared cookie sheet and drizzle with olive oil. You just want a drizzle for each pepper. It may be more or less than my measurements according to the size of your peppers.
- Measure out the salt into your hand and sprinkle each pepper with salt. Do the same with the pepper and garlic powder.
- Grate garlic into a pile on a cutting board and distribute evenly onto each pepper.
- Fill each pepper with cheese. You may need more or less depending on the size of the peppers.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until peppers are done and cheese is slightly brown.
