I usually make banana pepper fritters which is a common evening snack in India. While buying banana peppers, I wasn&#8217;t quite sure what to do with it besides frying it. And this time I absolutely didn&#8217;t want to fry it, wanted to make something different with it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Stuff the banana peppers was the first thing that hit my mind, and the second thing that came to my mind was bake &#8217;em. In no time I was seen having fun stuffing and baking the banana peppers. For making the stuffing, I literally threw whatever was found in my refrigerator and pantry into a huge pot and the outcome was unbelievably delish!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">I loved the taste of the stuffing so much that I couldn&#8217;t resist eating it while stuffing the peppers. Since I had only three peppers to stuff, the leftover stuffing was served as a side dish. The stuffed peppers was then allowed to bake in the oven. I couldn&#8217;t wait till the peppers came out charred perfectly out of the oven. As soon as I took the baked peppers out of the oven, just looking at it I had the feeling that it&#8217;s going to taste awesome. And the stuffed, baked banana peppers didn&#8217;t let me down.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Stuffed Baked Banana Peppers<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a
