Mini “Carrot” Peppers for Easter

This is an easy Easter appetizer that you can whip up in 10 minutes and it turns out SO cute!

Start with mini orange peppers (the sweet kind) and cut them in half. They’re just the right size and shape for our recipe!

Then you’ll mix up a dreamy dill and cream cheese spread to fill in each pepper half.

The finishing touch is a sprig of fresh dill weed on top, which looks just like carrots greens.

This healthy appetizer will stand out on the Easter table spread that’s usually full of sweet treats. They really do look like little carrots don’t they?! This one was so fun I just couldn’t wait to share!

Prep Tips

  • Substitutions – We used regular cream cheese and sour cream, but you can cut the calories by using light cream cheese and/or light sour cream. If you don’t have fresh dill on hand, you can use dried dill in the cream cheese spread. A sprig of fresh rosemary could also work for the carrot top. Also, you’re welcome to use a store-bought dip to fill in the peppers, to save time.
  • Storage – This recipe can be prepared up to a day ahead of time, so it’s great for those busy days around the Easter holiday. Simply keep covered and refrigerated until you’re ready to serve.
