- Cut each bell pepper in half lengthwise; discard the stems, ribs and seeds.
- Cut each half into six pieces.
- Arrange the pieces with the skin side down on a decorative serving platter.
- Set aside.
- In a medium skillet, dry-roast the almonds over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes, or until golden brown, stirring occasionally.
- Transfer 1 tablespoon of the almonds to a small plate and reserve for garnishing.
- Process the remaining almonds in a food processor or blender for 15 to 20 seconds, or until finely ground.
- In a medium mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, lemon pepper seasoning blend, and lemon juice with an electric mixer for 1 to 2 minutes, or until creamy.
- Add the ground almonds and beat for 10 seconds, or until combined.
- Spoon the mixture into a piping bag fitted with a wide star or round tip.
- Or snip the corner off a resealable plastic bag (a plastic freezer bag works well) and spoon in the mixture.
- Pipe about 1 teaspoon of the mixture onto each bell pepper piece.
- Garnish with the sliced almonds.
