Fillings
- 1 tub whipped cream cheese
- 1/2 cup hummus
Seasonings
- 1 tsp everything bagel seasoning
- 1 tsp green goddess seasoning
Garnish

Instructions
- Prepare the Peppers: Wash and dry the mini colorful sweet peppers thoroughly. Carefully cut the stem end off each pepper to create an opening for stuffing, ensuring not to pierce the opposite side.

- Assemble the Board: Arrange the stuffed peppers neatly on a serving platter, alternating flavors and colors for visual appeal.
- Garnish: Scatter fresh flat leaf parsley around and on top of the peppers to add vibrant green color and a fresh aroma.
- Serve and Enjoy: Present the veggie board immediately or refrigerate briefly before serving to keep the fillings chilled and fresh.
