If you use pickling spices will that make sweet banana peppers taste like pickles?

Using pickling spices on sweet banana peppers can impart some pickled flavors, but it won't make them taste exactly like traditional pickles. The spices will add a savory and aromatic dimension, which can complement the natural sweetness of the peppers. However, for a true pickle flavor, you would need to brine the peppers in a vinegar solution along with the spices. This process would create a more authentic pickled taste.
