Pepper stuffed with carrots for winter

Carrot-Stuffed Peppers for Winter

Carrot-stuffed peppers are both an appetizer and a meal! You can make them any time of year — the main thing is having fresh vegetables on hand, and the peppers can even be frozen (in which case you just skip the blanching). A filling of carrot alone has a lovely spiced sweetness, especially if you add cinnamon, caraway, or other spices to the mix. Serve the peppers as a meatless main over mashed potatoes, pasta, or grains, as a hearty side for meat or poultry, or as a cold appetizer on the holiday table.
