Vegan Stuffed Peppers

Here is a Vegan Stuffed Peppers Recipe below, including lots of delicious variations and ideas for making the best vegan stuffed peppers. These are some great vegan stuffed pepper recipe ideas if you are vegetarian or vegan, or if you have dairy allergies. You can stuff any pepper, although some of our favorite pepper stuffers are Jalapeños, the Mini Orange Bell Pepper, Red Cherry Hot peppers, Pimento Peppers, the large Beaver Dam Pepper. Of course, all of our hatch chiles and green chiles are also great for roasting, peeling and stuffing with cheese and frying into relleños. Green chiles usually have thicker skin, so roasting and peeling is good to remove the chewy, sometimes papery skins. Plus, roasting enhances the flavor!
