Do you like sweet mini peppers? What is your favorite way to cook them? I got two bags of these at Costco, but pretty much any grocery store around here carries them. They are beautifully colored in red, orange and yellow.

I’ve already shared recipes with sweet mini peppers and most of you seemed to like them.

And what do I do with peppers?

Stuff them! These Stuffed Cherry Peppers have been a hit around here lately. Mini peppers doesn’t need to be stuffed all the time, in order to taste delicious. Today’s recipe is the perfect example.

But wait a minute, you are not into grilling? Or you decide to make these sweet mini peppers in the winter and don’t feel like firing up the grill? You can definitely roast these in the oven at 375 F for around 20 minutes, or until slightly charred.

I know that the recipe is called “grilled sweet mini peppers”, but you can definitely oven roast them. And another fun fact – I call this dish a salad, but it really is a “grilled salad=appetizer=side dish”. You know these dishes that can totally work for a salad, snack, side dish, party food or an appetizer. These grilled sweet mini peppers fall into this category.

Once you grill the peppers, make sure you transfer them to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let them stand at room temperature for 10 minutes. This way the peppers will cool down and the extra heat will help the skin to separate easily, once you start peeling them.

Nutritious, light, fit food- Grilled sweet mini peppers with oil, vinegar, garlic, parsley and dill. Quick and delicious summer food.

The thing is that I’m not a huge fan of unpeeled peppers… But many recipes for sweet mini peppers don’t even call for peeling them. And you can definitely leave the skins on.

They are very tender. Just skip the peeling step, it is up to you and the way you like these peppers. The marinade for these is simple, but is brings just the right amount of flavor and freshness. It is made with olive oil, vinegar, salt, parsley, dill and garlic.

These grilled sweet mini peppers go well with a piece of bread, grilled meat or just some feta cheese. Don’t forget a nice summer drink!
