Combine the sweet taste of a red bell pepper with mild heat level (think less than a jalapeno) and you have the Cherry Bomb Pepper! This little round gem packs a punch of sweet hot flavor. However, don’t be alarmed by the name, the “bomb” of heat is more bottle rocket than atomic; at about 5,000 Scoville units these peppers are not as spicy as a jalapeno and have the added sweetness for balance. A Cherry Bomb Pepper has a thick outer wall that adds a great meaty texture to any recipe. Our Sautéed Cherry Bomb Peppers and Garlic Recipe shines when served with cheeses, hummus, eggs, and grilled sausage. Try adding to omelets and grilled cheese sandwiches for deliciousness that is sure to wake up your taste buds! This recipe is… da bomb!
