How to Roast Red Peppers
easy, step by step instructions to roast red peppers
Special Equipment
- 1 baking sheet
- 1 rack
- 1 bowl
Ingredients
- sweet red peppers (ripe, as many as you like)
Instructions
Roasting Options:
- Barbecue Method: If you want to roast them on the barbecue, place them directly on the grill and turn as they become charred. Skip to the peeling instructions below.
- Broiler or Grill Method: Turn on your broiler/grill and place the red peppers on a rack which is placed on a cookie sheet/baking tray; put the peppers on top and place under the broiler. Turn as they become charred on each side. When they are almost completely charred, they are done. Don’t overcook them or the end result will be mushy peppers.
Peeling instructions:
- While they are still hot, take one pepper at a time and keeping it on a plate, peel off all the skin. It’s very easy, as you can see.
- After all the peppers are peeled, it’s time to remove the stem and deseed them. Just tear out the stem, open up the pepper with your fingers (this is the messy part) and pull out the seeds; easy-peasy! Now you know how to roast red peppers!
Notes
- Always use fresh, organic red peppers if available.
