Top Tip: Many kids (and even adults) aren’t fans of cooked peppers, so the secret to this dish is serving the peppers raw. Use sweet red, orange, or yellow peppers for the best flavor.
Step-by-Step Guide to Make Stuffed Halloween Peppers
Prepare the Peppers: Start by slicing the tops off your peppers and carefully removing all seeds and the stalk.
Carve the Face: Use a sharp knife to carve spooky eyes and a mouth into the side of the pepper, just like carving a pumpkin.
Create the Brain Monster Effect: Take cooked spaghetti or linguine and drape the ends inside the pepper, letting the rest hang over the outside to resemble wild hair. Avoid stuffing the pasta entirely into the pepper, as you’ll want to leave room for the bolognese sauce. But do take the ‘pasta hair’ all around the back of the pepper as well.
Fill with Bolognese Sauce: Spoon the sauce into the pepper, piling it up to resemble a brain spilling out of the top. As you fill it, the sauce will ooze through the eyes and mouth, giving the Pepper Brain Monster a creepy, ghoulish look!
Serving Tip: This healthy Halloween treat is surprisingly filling, so don’t be shocked if your little monsters can’t finish a whole one – even adults find them pretty hearty!
Pepper Brain Monsters are the ultimate healthy Halloween food that’s both fun and nutritious. They offer a great balance of creativity and taste, making them a big hit with kids of all ages. Whether you’re looking to make healthier choices this Halloween or just want to try something new and exciting, these Halloween Peppers will impress the toughest little monsters!.
