Substitutions, optional variations & dietary adjustments

Below you’ll find a list of substitutions that will work well in this mini carrot peppers recipe. 

If you try something different out, please leave a comment below letting us all know how it turned out!

Tzatziki dip – My creamy yogurt dill sauce would be a good substitute for tzatziki. You can also use an herb cream cheese, sour cream, or store-bought dip in place of homemade.

Feta cheese – Goat cheese is a great alternative to use here as well.

Canned chicken – You can swap canned which for home-cooked chicken that you shred at home.

Orange mini peppers – Orange mini peppers complete the “carrot” look, but the recipe will be delicious with mini red or yellow bell peppers as well. Use what you have on hand!

Fresh dill – If you don’t have fresh herbs available, you can also use the actual green tops from carrots to complete the look. You can also use a few thinly sliced lettuce pieces to add greenery to the top.
