Vegan Mini Sweet Pepper Nachos are the ultimate low-carb, dairy-free, and gluten-free snack sure to please any crowd. Pefect for parties and game day!

These healthier nachos are perfect for parties or game day! Using halved mini sweet peppers in place of chips, loaded up with your favorite nacho toppings and smothered in vegan cheese – what's not to love?

Even better, these pepper nachos are totally customizable and bake for just 10 minutes! The hardest part of this recipe will be picking and choosing which toppings go on and which get left behind for next time.

Sweet Pepper Nachos Ingredients

How To Make Vegan Mini Sweet Pepper Nachos

Start off by slicing and deseeding mini peppers. Then combine filling ingredients, load up the peppers, top with vegan cheese, then bake until cheese is melted – about 10 minutes. I served these peppers right on the sheet pan. One less dish, right!!

What to Serve with Pepper Nachos

Salsa and guacamole are the obvious answers. The real star of the show though is the quick and easy vegan cheese sauce drizzle. I slightly adapted this basic vegan cheese sauce and it was delicious! Basically, I just used different spices and added more water to get the consistency I wanted, and that's it. Transfer the sauce to a squeeze bottle or makeshift sandwich bag with a tiny corner cut and drizzle away.

    I didn't realize there were no chips! Even in the photo, I still thought it was chips with peppers on it. This is so clever Jenna!
