Hi Everyone! I’m going to show you an easy way to roast red peppers. I know many of you have your own gardens and are bursting at the seems with these deliciously sweet and savory veggies. Sometimes the hardest part is knowing what to make with them! Well, here’s a recipe you can save in your mind…it’s that easy. I’ve made them this way for years!
Start off by rinsing, slicing in half and taking the seeds out of your peppers.
Roast peppers on a low broil for 5 mins, turn then roast for another 5 mins. Keep in mind that some ovens roast quicker than others. You’ll want to peer through the glass to make sure your peppers aren’t burning.
Use and oven mitt to take peppers out and immediately place them in a large Ziploc bag.
You can see here how the bag steams the peppers. Before we did this, the peppers were roasted, but still crunchy. This is going to soften them up a little…
Pour olive oil in a medium dish and add fresh garlic, salt and cracked pepper.
Slice your roasted peppers and add them to the mix.
*If you do not want your skins on, you will need to refrigerate your bag of roasted peppers, then the skins will come off easily before slicing.
Serve with a crusty bread and use the garlic oil to dip! Delicious.
