Chili peppers have more to them than just their delicious taste and occasional spiciness. As a nutritionist, I truly value them for their vast ability to contribute to a healthy diet. That is why vitamin C-containing chili peppers are part of most dishes I make.
One of my favorite peppers is pepperoncini pepper. Its mild heat, mouthwatering tangy, sweet taste, and nutritional content are the reason why I always gravitate toward it.
Unfortunately, I, along with many of you, seem to run out of pepperoncini pepper when I crave it the most.
That is why I have gathered substitutes we can use when the cravings hit.
The best substitutes for pepperoncini peppers are banana peppers, cherry, and jalapeño peppers. If you’re looking for raw substitutes, try Hungarian wax peppers, cubanelle chili peppers, or poblano peppers. For dried substitutes, you can use red pepper flakes, Anaheim peppers, or cascabel peppers. Substitutes for pepperoncini peppers in cooking include cayenne and friggitello peppers.
If you’re looking for substitutes in your salad, try Trinidad perfume chili peppers or peppadew peppers. For substitutes in chili, you can use pepperoncini juice.
In this article, we will dive into the different substitutions of pickled, raw, and dried pepperoncini peppers.
We will also take a look at how these peppers are used in cooking and salads. In addition, we’ll learn how to make pickled pepperoncini peppers at home.
Finally, we will address some commonly asked questions pertaining to pepperoncini peppers.
Pepperoncini Peppers Substitutes
1)Banana Peppers
True to their name, banana peppers resemble bananas. They are banana-shaped medium-sized chili peppers with a pale or deep yellow color that changes to orange or red when they mature.
Banana peppers are the ideal substitute for pepperoncini peppers, especially if you’re in need of the pickled version.
The taste of the peppers also differs. Banana peppers have a mild, tangy, and sweet flavor, while pepperoncini peppers have a mild and slightly bitter flavor.
However, like pepperoncini peppers, banana peppers become sweeter as they mature.
Both pepperoncini peppers and banana peppers are very mild chilies, placing almost evenly on the Scoville heat scale.
Pepperoncini pepper Scoville units are 100 to 500 SHU, while banana peppers are 0 to 500 SHU. In fact, banana peppers are the only known hot peppers that can have zero heat.
If you’re looking for a near-perfect substitute for pepperoncini pepper, you’ve found it. Despite being sweeter, pickled banana peppers work well in any dish that originally calls for pickled pepperoncini peppers.
If a recipe calls for five pepperoncini peppers, you can replace it with five banana peppers.
Either of them works great in dishes like Mississippi pot roast. Fresh banana peppers could also replace fresh pepperoncini peppers in salads and sandwiches.

2)Cherry Peppers
Just like banana pepper, cherry pepper is named after what it resembles. Sometimes called pimiento peppers, cherry peppers are bright red, short, heart-shaped, moderately hot peppers.
Pickled cherry peppers are also great substitutes for pickled pepperoncini peppers.
Cherry peppers add great freshness and sweetness to any dish, especially antipasto platters. They have a mild and sweet flavor that, unlike banana peppers, is similar to that of pepperoncini.
Cherry peppers’ spiciness measures at 100-500 SHU, which is more or less the same as pepperoncini peppers.
Like pepperoncini pepper, cherry pepper is a good pickling pepper. With its ability to bring a similar flavor and quality to a dish, pickled cherry peppers are a great alternative to pickled pepperoncini. For a spicier alternative, you can opt for a creole cherry pepper.
With this substitution, add as many pickled cherry peppers as you would add pickled pepperoncini.
If a recipe calls for ½ a cup of pepperoncini pepper, replace it with ½ a cup of pickled cherry peppers. Add some brine to the cherry peppers for an enhanced flavor.

3)Jalapeño Peppers
This spicy Jalapeño is by far the most popular type of pepper on the market.
Jalapeño peppers are mild-hot and can be found in stores in several different forms, such as pickled, dried, and of course, fresh. In addition, jalapeño peppers are great substitutes for pepperoncini peppers.
Often confused with each other, pepperoncini and jalapeño peppers typically range two to three inches in length. However, Pepperoncini peppers can go a bit longer and are more curved.
Jalapeño peppers are great substitutes for pepperoncini peppers, especially when the pickled version is called for.
You can use this substitution in pretty much any recipe, as they are very versatile.
Jalapeños are considered mild-to-moderate pepper. They are much hotter than pepperoncini peppers but milder than cayenne peppers.
Due to the difference in spiciness, with this substitution, add fewer jalapeno peppers to avoid overwhelming your tastebuds.
For example, in your Mississippi pot roast, use 4 jalapeños instead of 8 pepperoncini peppers. If you want your pot roast to be even spicier, you can add more jalapeños.

Hungarian wax pepper is a sweet, hot pepper popular in many traditional Latin dishes, sauces, soups, and salads. You can find these peppers sold fresh or pickled in stores or markets.
The Hungarian wax peppers’ sweet note resembles the taste of Pepperoncini, but a spicier version of it. So, if you don’t mind extreme spiciness, this substitute is perfect for you.

Cubanelle chili peppers are great raw in salads, casseroles, and pizzas. They are also often fried with oil to make Italian Frying Peppers, or they are stuffed.
Cubanelle chili peppers are sweet and are hardly considered hot peppers. The spiciest Cubanelle pepper barely reaches 1,000 SHU.

Poblano peppers are widely used in Mexican cuisine. They are often used for stuffing and roasting. Dried poblano is called ancho chili.
Poblano peppers are shorter and hotter than pepperoncini peppers. In addition, poblano peppers are thick-walled and have an earthy flavor, while pepperoncini peppers are thin-walled and have a somewhat sweet taste.

These flakes can be used in almost any meal to enhance the flavor and add spiciness. Red pepper flakes are great substitutes for pepperoncini pepper flakes.
The peppers that make up red pepper flakes come from the capsicum annum family, a family of peppers such as jalapenos, Anaheim, and bell peppers. Cayenne pepper is the most used pepper to make pepper flakes.
Red pepper flakes contain highly concentrated heat. They are widely sold and can be used in almost every recipe to enhance the flavor and spiciness.
You can use any type of red pepper flakes to substitute pepperoncini flakes. They can be used interchangeably in recipes.
However, depending on the peppers used to make the flakes, the red pepper flakes might be much spicier than pepperoncini flakes. It is advised to read the ingredients beforehand.
You can adjust how much pepper flakes you use in a recipe according to your taste.
As most red pepper flakes are higher in heat than pepperoncini flakes, make sure to minimize their use depending on your dish size. Use the flakes sparingly, with just a pinch or two.

Anaheim peppers, also called California chile or Magdalena, originate from New Mexico and are similar to New Mexico peppers.
They also come from the Anaheim region in California. Dried Anaheim peppers, also called chile seco del norte, could be great substitutes for dried pepperoncini peppers.
Anaheim peppers have thick walls, unlike pepperoncini. They are often used in meatless patties, hamburgers, salsas, or used for stuffing.
Anaheim pepper is a great substitute for pepperoncini as they taste similar; they both have a sweet taste. However, the least spicy Anaheim pepper can be as hot as the spiciest pepperoncini pepper.
That is why with this substitution, proceed with caution and add in less Anaheim pepper than you would pepperoncini pepper. Use the dried peppers sparingly, with just a pinch or two.

Cascabel peppers are smooth, round, and small chilis that ripen from green to red. They are often found in dried chiles rather than fresh and have an acidic, woodsy, slightly smoky flavor.
They are moderately spicy, spicier than pepperoncini, and can be used in dishes, soups, salsas, and sauces to make them spicier and enhance the flavor.
With this substitution, use only a bit in place of the dried pepperoncini pepper.
They are not the closest substitute for dried pepperoncini pepper due to their taste and spiciness. However, they are still a flavorful alternative that is easy to use.

Stores use the terms friggitello and pepperoncini peppers interchangeably, but sources say they are not the same.
