1
Prepare the Peppers
Wash the banana peppers thoroughly under running water. Cut the tops off and remove the seeds using a small spoon or knife. Set aside.
2
Prepare the Marinade
In a medium saucepan, combine brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic cloves, salt, olive oil, red pepper flakes, black pepper, and oregano. Stir well to combine.

3
Simmer the Marinade
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Stir occasionally until the sugar has completely dissolved, approximately 5 minutes.
4
Stuff the Peppers
Once the marinade is simmering, remove it from heat and allow it to cool slightly. Using a small spoon, carefully stuff each banana pepper with the marinade mixture.
5
Marinate the Peppers
Place the stuffed banana peppers in a glass jar or container. Pour any remaining marinade over the top, ensuring all peppers are submerged. Seal the jar and refrigerate for at least 24 hours to allow the flavors to meld.

6
Serve the Peppers
After marinating, the sweet and spicy banana peppers are ready to serve. Enjoy them cold as an appetizer or side dish, or use them to spice up sandwiches and salads.
