How To Roast Bell Peppers

Love roasted peppers? Me too! I also love that roasting peppers is so easy.  I know many of us roast red peppers, but you can actually roast just about any pepper! You can roast bell peppers, jalapeno peppers, serrano peppers, poblano peppers – just about any pepper you can think of! Actually, roasted vegetables are my favorite way to eat vegetables…the kids too!

Why roast peppers? Simple, the roasting deepens their flavors.  Which makes them extra delicious in recipes! Bell peppers are in season here in Florida November – May, so that’s the perfect time to stock up and make some roasted bell peppers.

How To Roast Peppers in the oven:

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

Cut the bell peppers in half and clean out the seeds and membrane.

Place the pepper halves on a foil-lined baking sheet.

Roast the peppers for 15 – 20 minutes, until the skin is dark and the peppers have collapsed.

Once the roasted peppers have cooled, you peel off the skin and then your roasted red peppers are ready for whatever creation you would like.

Notes

I have read some recipes where people place the peppers in a paper bag or a covered bowl to steam the peppers to help remove the skin, I did not find that necessary, the skins easily came off once the peppers were cool enough to touch.

Yes! You can freeze roasted peppers if you want them to last even longer.

Roasted red peppers are delicious in pasta, on top of pizza, folded into scrambled eggs, on salads and more! I used them in my Homemade Roasted Red Pepper dip. It is so good!
