Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole Red bell peppers
- 2 whole Yellow bell peppers
- 2 whole Green bell peppers
- 0.25 cup Extra virgin olive oil
- 0.25 cup Red wine vinegar
- 3 whole Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 0.5 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Freshly cracked black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) or prepare a grill for high heat.
Wash and dry the bell peppers. Place them on a baking sheet (if using the oven) or directly on the grill grates.
Roast or grill the peppers for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until all sides are charred and blistered.
Immediately transfer the roasted peppers to a large bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Let them sit for 10 minutes to steam, which will make the skins easier to remove.
Peel off the charred skins from the peppers. Remove the stems and seeds, then slice the peppers into thin strips.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.
Add the sliced peppers to the marinade and toss to coat thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
Before serving, let the peppers sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve as a side dish, appetizer, or topping for crusty bread. Enjoy!
