Follow The Directions

01

Step

5 mins

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C) and line a baking sheet with parchment. Place sliced mini bells on the baking sheet, cut sides up. (5 minutes)

02

Step

10 mins

Divide marinara sauce between peppers using a small spoon. Top peppers with cheese. Place 3 slices of mini pepperoni on top of cheese in each pepper. (10 minutes)

03

Step

15 mins

Bake in the preheated oven for 12 minutes. Turn the oven’s broiler to High, and broil peppers until cheese is melted and starting to brown, about 3 minutes. (15 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of Italian seasoning or red pepper flakes before baking.
Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese, such as provolone or cheddar, to create your own unique flavor profile.
If you don't have mini pepperoni on hand, regular pepperoni slices can be quartered and used instead.
These pepper pizza bites are best enjoyed immediately while the cheese is melted and bubbly.
