Stuffed Spicy peppers
If you want a low-carb snack which will keep you satiated for a long time; this is definitely the snack for you !
This can be made as a vegan snack or a non-vegan snack as I did here. If you want it to be fully vegan, just substitute chicken mince with tofu mince or Quorn mince.
