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.
