Equipment
Ingredients
- 5 red peppers
- salt and pepper
- olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cut the red peppers in half lengthwise, and remove the seeds and white veins. Rinse well and pat dry with paper towels.
- Place the red pepper halves cut side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Roast the peppers for about 25-30 minutes, or until the skins are blistered and charred. If your oven has a convection setting, use it to enhance the roasting.
- Remove from the oven and cover the peppers with a kitchen towel, allowing them to steam. This step will make peeling the skins easier. You can also place the peppers in a bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap for a similar steaming effect. Let them cool slightly, for about 20 minutes.
- Peel off and discard the skins.
- Store the roasted peppers in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to use.
- Season them with salt, freshly ground black pepper, herbs and a drizzle of olive oil for added flavor.
