The Super Bowl is just a few days away and I wanted to share one of my favorite go-to appetizers that are a much healthier option than your classic nachos! These loaded bell pepper nachos have all the things you love about this delicious finger food, except with less carbs. Colorful mini rainbow peppers take the place of “tortilla chips” all topped with seasoned beef, melty cheese, and loads of fun toppings all on one sheet pan. The peppers are perfectly tender, but still have a nice crunch when you bite into them so I promise you won’t miss those tortilla chips and you can enjoy these without the guilt!
These nachos are not only a great game day snack, but you could also make these as an appetizer for Taco Tuesday night or even enjoy this as a main course. Your kids will even enjoy eating these, you may just want to adjust the toppings to their liking.
I love making these bell pepper nachos because they are the perfect keto-friendly snack! Make sure to have fun with your toppings, but remember that the carbs do start adding up so keep that in mind if you’re trying to keep these nachos low in carbs. Other low carb toppings include shredded lettuce, sliced avocados, guacamole, extra salsa, green or red onions, mushrooms and fresh cilantro. Also, if you want these REALLY low in carbs, feel free to cut back on some of the toppings that I added. I want you to make this to your liking!

Scale
1x2x3x
- Prep Time: 5 mins
- Cook Time: 25 mins
- Total Time: 30 mins
Ingredients
For the Nachos:
- 1 lb bag mini rainbow peppers, sliced in half with seeds removed
- 1 lb 90% ground beef (you could also use ground turkey or chicken)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tsp chili powder
- 1 1/2 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup chunky salsa
- 1 cup Colby jack or Mexican cheese, shredded
Toppings:
- 1/2 cup chopped cherry tomatoes
- 1/4 cup sliced black olives
- 1 or 2 jalapeños, sliced
- 1 to 2 Tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
- Other additional toppings: sour cream, avocado, guacamole
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and arrange mini bell pepper halves in a single layer on a sheet pan sprayed with nonstick spray or lined with foil. Set aside.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook ground ground beef until it begins to crumble and brown, draining any excess liquid. Add garlic, chili powder, cumin, oregano, onion powder and salt and continue cooking until meat is browned and completely cooked. Stir in the salsa and continue cooking 5 more minutes until heated through.
- Spoon the ground beef mixture evenly onto the peppers, making sure to cover each one, then sprinkle with shredded cheese.
- Bake peppers in the oven for about 10 to 12 minutes, until peppers are tender and cheese is melted. Remove from oven and top with tomatoes, black olives, jalapeños, cilantro and sour cream, if desired. Enjoy while warm!
