Roasting red peppers is not only easy, it’s fun, well if you have a gas stove. Don’t worry if you don’t have a gas stove you can always make these peppers in the oven. Here’s a step-by-step photo tour of roasting peppers.
Step 1 - If you have a gas stove place the peppers directly on the burner. Turn the pepper often and be sure you allow them to char all over, this make take a couple of turns per side. If you don’t have a gas burner then you can use your oven.
Roasting peppers in the oven takes more time (around 1 hour) and you need to be sure you cover the peppers in olive oil before you roast them. Set your oven to 400° and roast the peppers until they are soft and collapse.
Step 2 - Once the peppers have been roasted place them into a bowl covered with plastic wrap and allow them to sweat for 15 minutes.
Step 3 - After 15 minutes take the peppers out of the bowl and peel the charred skin away from the roasted flesh.
Step 5 - Once the pepper has been peeled you can remove the top and the seeds.
Step 6 - After the seeds and top have been removed you can slice or dice the peppers and use them in your favorite recipe.
