Roasted pepper is a cooking method where bell peppers are cooked over high heat until the skin is blackened and blistered, making it easy to peel off and resulting in a soft, sweet, and smoky flesh. This process brings out the pepper's natural sweetness and can be done in an oven, under a broiler, on a grill, or even on a stovetop flame. How to roast peppers Prepare the peppers: Wash the peppers, then cut them in half lengthwise. Remove the stem, seeds, and white membranes.Roast:Oven/Broiler: Place the pepper halves skin-side down on a baking sheet. You can lightly oil them. Roast in a preheated oven (around (450^{circ }F)) or under the broiler until the skins are black and blistered.Grill: Place whole peppers on the grill over an open flame, turning frequently until charred on all sides.Steam: Place the hot peppers in a bowl, cover it with a lid or plastic wrap, and let them steam for about 15 minutes. This softens the skin, making it easier to peel.Peel: Once the peppers are cool enough to handle, peel off the charred skin. It should come off easily. Avoid rinsing them with water, as this will wash away some of the flavor.Serve or store: You can slice the roasted pepper flesh into strips and serve immediately with olive oil, salt, and other seasonings, or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Tips and uses Red bell peppers are the easiest to peel and sweetest for roasting, but you can use yellow or orange ones as well.Roasted peppers can be used in many dishes, such as in salads, pasta, sandwiches, or as a side dish.
