1 Tbsp olive oil
1/4 cup Green Giant™ Fresh Red Bell Pepper, finely chopped
1 small jalapeno pepper, finely chopped (about 2 Tbsp)
1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup, plus 1 Tbsp freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup, plus 1 Tbsp panko bread crumbs
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp butter, melted

Directions

  1. Heat oven to 375°F. In medium microwavable bowl, place 30 halved Brussels sprouts. Cover and microwave 2 minutes or until Brussels sprouts are bright green. Chop remaining Brussels sprouts.
