Ingredients:
- Large bell peppers (red, yellow, or green)
- Your choice of sandwich fillings (options include sliced turkey or chicken, ham, cheese, lettuce, tomato, avocado, etc.)
- Hummus or your favorite spread
- Olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions:
- Prepare the Bell Peppers:
- Wash the bell peppers thoroughly. Slice off the tops and bottoms, and then cut each pepper in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds and membranes.
- Roast the Bell Peppers (Optional):
- You can choose to roast the bell peppers for added flavor. Preheat your oven broiler or grill. Place the pepper halves on a baking sheet or grill pan, skin side up. Broil or grill until the skin is charred and blistered. Then, transfer the peppers to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let them steam for about 10 minutes. After steaming, peel off the skin.
- Prepare the Fillings:
- While the bell peppers are roasting or steaming, prepare your desired sandwich fillings. This could include slices of turkey or chicken, ham, cheese, lettuce, tomato, avocado, or any other ingredients you prefer.
- Assemble the Sandwich:
- Lay the roasted bell pepper halves on a plate or cutting board with the interior facing up.
- Spread a layer of hummus or your favorite spread inside each bell pepper half.
- Layer the Fillings:
- Begin layering your chosen sandwich fillings inside the bell pepper “bread.” Stack the ingredients to your liking.
- Drizzle with Olive Oil and Season:
- Drizzle a little olive oil over the top of the assembled sandwich. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve:
- Once assembled, place the other half of the bell pepper on top to create a sandwich. Secure with toothpicks if needed.
- Enjoy:
- Your Bell Pepper Sandwich is ready to be enjoyed! It’s a refreshing and low-carb option for a tasty lunch or snack.
