These hand-held Mini Pepper Pizzas embrace the deliciousness of pizza with a healthy twist! They include way more nutrients than the a bagel bite or pizza roll and they make a perfect appetizer for parties and a great healthy snack for kids… and adults!

Raw mini peppers are one of my favorite healthy snacks. They’re so perfect dipped in hummus or guacamole. You can eat them whole, seeds and all, so munch away.

These mini peppers were especially fresh and crisp with beautiful vibrant colors. Sweet peppers from Divine Flavor are seriously my favorite! And with good reason too – Divine Flavor produces high-quality, non-GMO foods grown in nutrient-rich, never over-farmed soil.

Divine Flavor is a Mexican family-run and grower-owned fruit and vegetable distribution company based out of Arizona. I’m a huge fan of their beliefs in growing better food for a better world.

I decided to give these gorgeous sweet peppers a try, cooked, and this recipe for mini pepper pizzas did not disappoint. Not only was this fun finger food tasty, it was so easy to create. Sweet mini peppers are filled with pizza sauce, stuffed with mozzarella and topped with mini pepperoni, then broiled until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

These mini pepper pizzas make a for a crowd pleasing appetizer or side dish, and obviously they are the perfect game day snack!
