Roasted green peppers are a versatile vegetable celebrated in global cuisines, particularly Mediterranean, Mexican, and Middle Eastern dishes. Originating as a cultivar of the sweet bell pepper, green peppers offer a mildly bitter yet earthy flavor that mellows and becomes slightly sweet when roasted. Nutritionally, they're rich in vitamins C and A, antioxidants that support immune health and vision. They also contain fiber, aiding digestion, and small amounts of folate and vitamin K for heart and bone health. Green peppers are low in calories and fat, making them an excellent addition to a balanced diet. However, they may be slightly harder to digest for individuals with sensitive stomachs due to their fibrous skins. Roasting enhances their natural sweetness and creates a tender texture, making them a popular addition to salads, sandwiches, and hearty main dishes.
