Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large bell peppers (any color, cored and seeded)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt (for peppers)
  • 3 large ripe avocados
  • 2–3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1/4 cup finely diced red onion
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 small jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt (for guacamole, or to taste)
  • 1 can black olives, sliced (for decoration)
  • 2–3 slices jalapeño (for decoration)
  • 2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened (for decoration, optional for dairy-free)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Wash and dry bell peppers.
  2. Slice the top off each bell pepper about 1 inch down from the stem. Scoop out seeds and white membranes. Place peppers upright in a baking dish and sprinkle inside with sea salt.
  3. Optional: Blanch peppers in boiling water for 3-4 minutes, then transfer to an ice bath. Pat dry.
  4. Cut avocados in half, remove pits, and scoop flesh into a mixing bowl. Add lime juice immediately.
  5. Mash avocados with a fork until mostly smooth but with some chunks.
  6. Stir in diced red onion, chopped cilantro, minced jalapeño, and minced garlic. Taste and adjust salt and lime juice.
  7. Pack the guacamole mixture firmly into each pepper, pressing it down level with the top.
  8. Drizzle tops with olive oil. Bake for 15-20 minutes until peppers are tender.
  9. While baking, slice black olives for eyes and jalapeño for nose/mouth.
  10. Remove peppers from oven and let cool for 2 minutes. Use cream cheese or guacamole as glue to attach olive eyes and jalapeño details.

Notes

Ensure avocados are ripe but firm to avoid soupy filling. Add lime juice immediately to prevent browning. Wear gloves when handling jalapeños. If peppers tip over in the dish, use crumpled foil to hold them upright.
