Roasting peppers is a great way to concentrate the delicious flavor the pepper already has. You can store them in the fridge for a few days or make a big batch and freeze for a later date.
Roasted Bell Peppers
(Makes 2 roasted peppers)
Printable Version
Ingredients:
- 2 red bell peppers
Directions:
1. Cut the peppers in half and remove the seeds.
2. Place the peppers on a baking sheet and preheat the oven to 500F
3. Bake until the layer of the skin has blackened, about 15 minutes.
4. Peel off the skins (optional).
I would say, peeling the skin off is recommended. It is very easily done, by putting the (still hot) peppers in a vacuum bag or similar, close it and let it rest for 10 minutes. After that the skin comes almost off by itself.
I tried that and it worked well! thanks.
