Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large capsicums (red, yellow, or green)
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash the capsicums thoroughly, then cut them in half. Remove the seeds and any white membranes.
Slice each capsicum half into 1-inch wide strips.
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, fresh thyme leaves, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Add the capsicum strips to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the oil and seasoning mixture.
Spread the capsicum strips in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, turning halfway through, until the capsicums are tender and have slightly charred edges.
Remove from the oven, drizzle with balsamic vinegar, and toss gently to coat.
Serve warm as a side dish or allow to cool and use in salads or sandwiches.
