Which type of bell pepper is best for this recipe?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For this recipe, we used both red and green peppers. But yellow peppers are also just as delicious and perfect for stuffing, so feel free if you want to use those. Also, the yellow ones have the highest vitamin C content amongst all bell peppers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To help you choose the perfect pepper to stuff, here\u2019s a summary table comparing the different colors. These nutritional details are per 100g:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Color<\/strong><\/td>Calories<\/strong><\/td>Fat (g)<\/strong><\/td>Total Carbs (g)<\/strong><\/td>Fiber (g)<\/strong><\/td>Net Carbs (g)<\/strong><\/td>Protein (g)<\/strong><\/td>Vitamin A (%DV)<\/strong><\/td>Vitamin C (%DV)<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>

As you can see, all three are rich in Vitamin C. But red pepper takes the cake when it comes to Vitamin A. In terms of calories, fat, and protein, there\u2019s not much significant difference between the three.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While all 3 colors have a reasonable amount of net carbs, yellow peppers do have the highest carb content. But 5.1g of net carbs isn’t too bad when you consider the fact that you\u2019re only getting 27 calories per 100g and 3x the recommended daily amount of Vitamin C!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In terms of flavor, if you want some sweet-tasting keto stuffed peppers, go for the red ones. You also get the best balance of carbs, fiber, vitamin A and vitamin C. For the most part, red and orange peppers are sweeter than the green ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What other ingredients can I use to stuff the peppers with?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The thing about stuffed peppers is that you have absolute freedom on the ingredients you can use! The ingredients we used in this recipe are all low carb and keto-friendly, but it\u2019s not exactly great for those on a more restrictive keto-vegan diet. Vegans can just replace the eggs, heavy cream, bacon, and feta cream with vegan-friendly alternatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That said, here are some popular keto-friendly stuffing you can use:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
