Jack O’Lantern stuffed peppers are the perfect addition to your Halloween party. They are easy to make, a little creepy and yet delicious to eat. These Jack O’lantern stuffed peppers are vegetarian, however, you can fill them with anything you like.

I fill my Jack O’Lantern stuffed peppers with couscous and cheese. The key is to season the couscous well. And the parmesan cheese just makes everything a little bit better.

Different fillings

It’s really simple to play around with different fillings to accompany your Jack O’Lantern stuffed peppers. Minced meat, rice or why not both? Just make sure you cook everything before you fill your Jack O’Lantern stuffed peppers. I tried one batch with red rice. That was spooky and quite tasty.

Halloween dinner table

I’m sure you go all in for in Halloween, just as I do. Therefore, instead of making just one dinner, I make a variation of spooky small dishes. That way I get to play around with my creativity and everyone is sure to find something they like. Like the Hasselbat potato for instance. Hasselback potato is a classical Swedish potato dish. I made a little twist on it.

There is also a mean kidney bean dip on the Halloween table. That dip will go with anything you like to dip. For example, tacos.

Setting the scene

Regardless of what you serve at your Halloween party, may it be Jack O’lantern stuffed peppers or anything else. Setting the scene is important. And the best part, it doesn’t have to be very complicated or expensive. Spider webs, some candy, spiders and pumpkins will take you far.
