Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Peppers

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Carefully slice the tops off the banana peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Stuffing

    In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are combined and creamy.

Stuffing and Baking

  1. 3

    Stuff the Peppers

    Using a small spoon or a piping bag, fill each banana pepper with the cheese mixture until they are well-stuffed.

  2. 4

    Prepare for Baking

    Place the stuffed peppers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle olive oil over the peppers and sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top.

  3. 5

    Bake the Peppers

    Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the cheese is bubbly and golden.

Serving

  1. 6

    Serve Hot

    Remove the stuffed banana peppers from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve warm as an appetizer or snack.
