Easy Italian Roasted Red Peppers
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large led bell peppers (washed)
- 1 1/2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves (cut in half)
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- First, set oven to broil setting or 500 F degrees.
- Then, put the bell peppers on a oil sprayed, foil lined baking sheet. Using foil helps with clean up.
- Next, place peppers in oven and set time for 10 minutes. The skin of the peppers will begin to turn black which means the skin is separating from the flesh which, it is supposed to do. They may need up to 5 minutes longer.
- Then, when the timer rings, carefully turn peppers over and return to oven for about 7-12 more minutes so the other side can blacken. Check on them. If the skin is tender when a fork goes through the skin, they're ready to remove. If you let them cook too long, the flesh will burn along with the skin and they will be ruined.
- Next, after the other side of peppers has blackened, remove peppers from oven and let cool five minutes.
- Then, while peppers are still hot, carefully remove the burnt skin with a fork and knife. Discard stem and all seeds. Although it is easier, do NOT run peppers under water to remove seeds because you will wash away the pepper juice that gives so much flavor to this recipe.
- Next, cut the pepper flesh into strips and put in a bowl with remaining ingredients. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
