Stuffed Piquillo Peppers

For those of you who have never tried a piquillo pepper, they are not spicy. When people see the word pepper, they immediately think that it’s going to be hot. Piquillo peppers are similar to a bell pepper and can actually be kind of sweet.

This simple recipe actually makes 2 different types of appetizers. One of which is a low carb version. These stuffed piquillo peppers can help set the tone of a party with a fancier more gourmet style rather than the regular chips and dip.
