Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Red capsicums
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 10 leaves Fresh basil leaves
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash the red capsicums thoroughly and dry them with a kitchen towel.
Cut each capsicum in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes.
Slice the capsicum halves into strips approximately 1 inch wide.
Place the capsicum strips in a large mixing bowl and drizzle with olive oil.
Season the capsicum with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder, tossing well to ensure even coating.
Arrange the seasoned capsicum strips in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Roast in the oven for 15 minutes, then flip the capsicum strips with a spatula for even cooking.
Continue roasting for another 20 minutes, or until the capsicum edges start to char and carmelize.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before transferring to a serving dish.
Chop the fresh basil leaves and sprinkle over the roasted capsicum just before serving.
