    Cauliflower cheese stuffed peppers are a colourful and delicious low carb side dish. Or enjoy a couple with a side salad for a vegetarian lunch.

    Roasted sweet red peppers make a perfect case for creamy cauliflower cheese. You could use yellow but I find the red sweeter, especially when roasted. A simple low carb & gluten free cheese sauce is slathered over cauliflower, which is then placed into a red pepper and baked.

    Cauliflower Cheese Stuffed Peppers

    Cauliflower cheese is one of my favourite low carb dishes and I like to play around with it to stop it becoming monotonous. Here, I have used it as a pepper filling for a great keto side dish. You can stuff and bake a pepper with cauliflower rice, so why not the cauliflower itself?!

    Cauliflower Cheese Stuffed Peppers Tips

    • For the cheese sauce you can add other cheese for extra flavour. A strong Gouda, Parmesan or Fontina would be delicious.
    • Red or yellow peppers are best for this baked dish. Green peppers are not sweet enough and would be a bit bitter when roasted.
    • This dish could be made ahead by preparing the dish ready to bake, cover and keep in the fridge until you are ready to cook it. It reheats well, as testified by the Chief Taster who has the leftovers for his lunch the next day!
    • Try mashing the cauliflower cheese before spooning it into the peppers. That works just as well. (I found that out by accident when I overcooked my cauliflower!)
    • Instead of heavy cream, use sour cream for extra creamy cauliflower cheese.

      I made this evening, turned out well
      . Just a couple of things in the recipe: you say 1 cup of cheddar cheese then in the instructions you say add 100g to the sauce, that can be confusing for people who don't understand metric. Also the recipe calls for half a cup of heavy cream but it is not mentioned in the sauce making. I make lots of your recipes, keep up the great work!

        Thanks. I've adjusted it accordingly. It was an old recipe I updated but left a few things in that should not be there! Glad you enjoyed the recipe.
