Ingredients

For the Bell Pepper Bites

• 2 large bell peppers, halved and seeded
• 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese

• 2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
• 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
• 1 tsp olive oil
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

How to Make Greek-Inspired Bell Pepper Bites

1. Prepare the Oven

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

2. Prepare the Peppers

Cut the bell peppers into small bite-sized boats or thick rings.

Arrange the pepper pieces on the prepared baking sheet.

3. Make the Creamy Filling

In a bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, crumbled feta, finely diced cucumber, chopped fresh dill, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic powder and freshly ground black pepper.

Stir until the mixture is creamy and evenly combined.

4. Fill the Peppers

Spoon the creamy Greek-inspired mixture generously into each prepared pepper piece.

Try to distribute the filling evenly so every bite has plenty of the creamy mixture.

5. Bake

Place the filled peppers in the preheated oven and bake for 10–12 minutes, just until the peppers soften slightly and the filling is warmed through.

6. Serve

Serve the bell pepper bites warm, or allow them to cool and enjoy them chilled.

For a simple finishing touch, garnish with a little extra fresh dill and freshly cracked black pepper if desired.

Tips for the Best Bell Pepper Bites

• Choose large peppers: Larger bell peppers make it easier to create sturdy little boats for the filling.
• Dice the cucumber finely: Smaller pieces distribute more evenly through the creamy filling.
• Don’t overbake: The peppers only need to soften slightly while the filling warms through.
• Serve either way: These bites can be enjoyed warm or cooled and served chilled.
• Finish with fresh dill: A little extra dill adds a fresh herbal touch to the finished dish.
