Keto Stuffed Banana Peppers with Sweet Sausage {Grain Free}

A few months ago I ended up in the basement of this lovely Italian tavern in the Fingerlakes region of New York after a day of wine tasting. I was so tempted to dive face-first into a bowl of rigatoni, but I kept my cool and stuck with protein and salad. On the specials menu, they had this appetizer everyone was fawning over. Stuffed peppers. I checked the ingredients and was super excited to find out it was something I could devour without guilt… which I did, in about five seconds. They were total magic. I took notes while we ate and vowed to make my own Keto Stuffed Banana Peppers when we got home.

These Sweet Sausage Keto Stuffed Banana Peppers are grain free, simple to make, and full of flavor. Stuffed with sautéed buttery onions, herbs de Provence seasoned sausage, and topped with marinara and hot bubbling mozzarella, this is sure to become a favorite. Here’s the recipe!
