An Easy Appetizer – Roasted Mini-Peppers with Goat Cheese

Last night we were grilling and I remembered I had a big bag of little red, yellow and orange peppers from Costco. They are mini peppers and super sweet.  I decided to roast them and stuff them with goat cheese (also from Costco.) They were so delicious. I served them as a side, but I really think they would be better as an appetizer.

Super easy. Take as many mini peppers as you need, and toss them in  a bowl with a little olive oil and salt and pepper. I did use Trader Joes Sea Salt, and I think it made a difference. If you don't have sea salt, use kosher salt.  Grill the peppers until they become soft and slightly charred. Remove the peppers from the grill, and cut off the top - about 1/4" - and stuff with goat cheese.  Put the peppers on a piece a foil, and return them to the grill for about a minute until the cheese is hot and melty.

If you don't have a grill, you can char the peppers using an indoor grill pan, you can put them right on the burner of a gas stove, or put them in the oven on broil.  If you grill your peppers on the gas burner, finish them off in the oven,

Hope you like them - we ate them up!
