Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces red bell peppers
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Wash the red bell peppers thoroughly under running water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Place the whole red bell peppers on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
Roast the peppers in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, turning them every 8-10 minutes with tongs, until the skins are blistered and blackened in spots.
Remove the roasted peppers from the oven and immediately transfer them to a large heatproof bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a plate to trap the steam. Let the peppers sit and steam for 10-15 minutes. This will make peeling easier.
Once the peppers are cool enough to handle, peel off their skins using your fingers or a small knife. Remove the stems, seeds, and membranes as well.
Slice the roasted peppers into strips or leave them whole, depending on your preference.
Drizzle the roasted peppers with olive oil, sprinkle with kosher salt and black pepper, and serve as desired. They can also be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
