Whether you're planning a Christmas party, game night, or just a snacky weekend, these Gluten-Free Bacon Wrapped Sweet Pepper Poppers are a must-try! These tasty little bites are cheesy, savoury, and packed with flavour and the best part is they’re super easy to make with only four ingredients.
Love jalapeño poppers but not a fan of the heat? These are the perfect solution. By using sweet snack peppers instead of jalapeños, you get the same stuffed and wrapped goodness without the unpredictability of spice levels. It’s all the fun of a popper minus the fiery afterburn.
Stuffed with garlic and herb cream cheese, mixed with a bit of grated mozzarella, then wrapped in streaky bacon they’re creamy, cheesy, savoury, and absolutely addictive. The bacon crisps up beautifully in the oven, and the peppers roast until tender. You’ll be amazed at how something so simple can taste so indulgent.
These are a hit at any gathering and can be prepped ahead of time. Just assemble, cover, and refrigerate until you're ready to bake. They also reheat well in the oven or air fryer if you have leftovers (though that’s rare!).

Add chilli flakes or hot sauce to the filling for a spicy version.
For crispier bacon, try partially cooking it for a few minutes before wrapping the peppers.
Leftovers can be stored in the fridge and reheated in the oven or air fryer.
