Infused with the simplicity of Mediterranean flavors, this *Dairy-Free Oven-Roasted Capsicum* recipe is a vibrant, healthy side dish that will elevate any meal. Featuring sweet red capsicums tossed with extra-virgin olive oil, freshly chopped thyme, and a blend of sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder, these roasted peppers develop a beautifully tender texture and a subtle char in the oven. Ready in under an hour with minimal prep, this gluten-free and vegan dish is as versatile as it is delicious—perfect for serving warm alongside roasted vegetables, or cold in salads, sandwiches, and pasta. Bursting with natural sweetness and aromatic herbs, it’s the ultimate side for anyone seeking a flavorful, plant-based addition to their table.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash the capsicums thoroughly under cold water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Cut each capsicum in half lengthwise, and remove the stem, seeds, and membranes.
Slice the capsicum halves into strips approximately 1 inch wide.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the capsicum strips, olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and chopped thyme.
Toss everything together until the capsicum strips are evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.
Spread the capsicum strips in a single layer on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Roast in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes, or until the capsicums are tender and slightly charred at the edges, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Serve the oven-roasted capsicum warm as a side dish, or use as an ingredient in salads, sandwiches, or pasta dishes.
