Roasted Red Pepper

Roasting red peppers not only makes them easy to peel, it makes them incredibly sweet and flavorful. My technique for making perfect roast peppers.

📝 Ingredients

• 1 red bell pepper

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Wash and dry the bell pepper
2. 2Put the pepper directly on the oven rack in the middle of your oven and stick a sheet pan on the rack below to catch any juices that come out of the pepper.
3. 3Turn the oven on to 475 degrees F (250 C) and roast the peppers until the pepper is charred across 75% of it's surface, about 20-30 minutes.
4. 4Place the pepper in a bowl and cover with a lid. The steam helps separate the skin from the pepper making it very easy to peel.
5. 5Once the pepper is cool enough to handle, peel off the skin. You should then be able to tear segments off of the stem, removing the light colored membranes any seeds as you go.
6. 6Use the roasted peppers immediately, or put them in a container and cover them with olive oil to store them in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
