The shape and size of mini bell peppers make them the perfect vessel for this handheld party snack. The filling for these vegan poppers is sweet, crunchy and a little juicy, with a hint of spice from Tajin seasoning—an addictive Mexican-style blend of chili, salt, and dehydrated lime juice. You can assemble these poppers a day ahead of time and store them in the fridge until ready to serve. 

Mini Bell Pepper Vegan Poppers

By Darshana Thacker,

Ingredients

  • 40 mini bell peppers, tops cut and cored (about 24 oz.)
  • 3 ripe mangoes, very finely diced (3 cups)
  • 1 Persian cucumber, very finely diced (½ cup)
  • 1 medium tomato, very finely diced (½ cup)
  • 1 scallion, thinly sliced (¼ cup)
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice or apple cider vinegar
  • 1½ tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • Sea salt
  • Dash of Tajin seasoning (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place peppers in a steamer basket in a large saucepan. Add water to saucepan just below basket. Bring to boiling. Steam, covered, 10 to 15 minutes, or until peppers are soft but not limp. Alternatively, roast the peppers: Preheat oven to 350°F; place peppers on a parchment-lined baking sheet; bake for 10 minutes; then remove and let stand for 10 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, prepare the filling: In a medium bowl mix together the remaining ingredients.
  3. Spoon filling into peppers, placing filled peppers upright in a baking dish as you go to prevent filling from spilling out. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or until ready to serve.
