    Couscous stuffed mini peppers packed with fresh, summer flavours - Super easy to make, plus they're naturally vegan and dairy-free!

    These couscous stuffed mini peppers give a nice little twist to the traditional meaty and rich stuffed peppers ( save those for winter). 

    Sweet, roasted to perfection with just a glug of fruity extra virgin olive oil and a refreshing filling made of healthy seasonal ingredients.

    They're perfect for any occasion and can be easily made ahead of time.

    We never run out of this couscous salad at home, especially during summertime.

    Delicious and loaded with fresh flavors on its own, I also use it to stuff all kinds of veggies including these tasty stuffed mini peppers.

    I also like to add some cheese every now and then, both feta and goat cheese work great with this dish.

    These stuffed mini peppers only take less than 30 min to make from start to finish and only require 3 main ingredients: mini peppers, couscous salad, and extra virgin olive oil.

    They would be great for a big crowd since there's very little prep work involved.

    Plus they're naturally vegan and dairy-free, perfect to please almost everyone at your next party!
