6 servings
- 1 lb mini sweet bell peppers (about 18ā20 peppers)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Ā¼ tsp salt
- Ā¼ tsp black pepper
Ingredient noteBlack pepper can trigger interstitial cystitis symptoms in some people, but the small amount in this recipe (~1/16 tsp per serving) is likely tolerated by many. If you prefer to always avoid black pepper, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
For the filling
- 8 oz goat cheese, softened
- 3 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 tbsp fresh chives, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tsp lemon zest
Ingredient noteInterstitial cystitis limits citrus because of the acid in the juice, but zest carries very little of it, and this recipe uses only about 1/6 tsp per serving, which is likely fine for many. If you prefer to always avoid lemon peel, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- Ā¼ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
