Keto Cream Cheese Peppers

This year I have tried to modify my diet and follow the Keto plan; and let’s face it over the last year I stress ate and added some extra pounds.  My body always feels so much better when I cut out carbs and sugar.  I love a good crunchy and filling snack.   These Keto Cream Cheese Peppers have become a favorite appetizer to take to dinner or just have for a snack.

Ingredients

• 1- package of cream cheese
• 1- bag of bell paper (yellow, red, and orange)
• 2-3 green onions (diced into small pieces)
• 1/2 tsp Simply Organic garlic powder 
• 1 tsp kosher salt, or to taste
• ½ tsp ground black pepper or to taste
• 1 tsp dried parsley (optional -I prefer the Simply Organic parsley)
• 1/8 tsp of dill (optional- I prefer Simply Organic Dill)
• Paprika

Directions

1. Take your cream cheese out of the refrigerator to soften. If you are in a hurry you can place it in the microwave for 15 seconds. (not my favorite option but, it works in a pinch).
2. Next, wash small bell peppers, slice the tops off and slice down the middle removing seeds and extra meat then set to the side.
3. After washing the green onions, dice them into fine pieces and set to the side.
4. Take your cream cheese and place it in a bowl. Add the garlic, salt, pepper and green onion; then stir until well incorporated.
5. Add a spoon full to each pepper half.

Optional: Sprinkle with paprika for an extra kick

Serve the Keto Cream Cheese Pepper as a side or just for a snack.  This recipe is a favorite at our house, even with the kids.
