 Recipe for Homemade Roasted Red Peppers


I discovered the $1 section on Wednesday at the Santa Monica farmers' market. Yellow and red mixed bell peppers were being sold at one of the stands for $1 a pound. For $2, I purchased eight somewhat misshaped, about to ruin peppers. That offer is absurdly fantastic. I discovered the $1 section on Wednesday at the Santa Monica farmers' market.

I brought them home, roasted them, and now I have a supply in my refrigerator that I can use whenever I choose. I cooked scrambled eggs for dinner today, which I served with warm toast and topped with roasted red pepper slivers. Yum.

There are several uses for these peppers, which have a very sweet flavor when roasted.

Using Roasted Red Peppers
  • Sandwiches with red onion, mustard, and cheddar cheese.
  • Salads.
  • Paninis stuffed with Gruyère and sautéed Swiss chard.
  • Either spaghetti or pasta salad
  • About pizza.
  • The omelet.
  • When feta and parsley are finely puréed and used as a dip.
  • Quiche.
  • A savory tart for the summer.
Roasted Red Peppers Made at Home

Bring the roasted red peppers to room temperature for an easy appetizer because the cold hides their taste. Peppers should be thinly sliced. on a plate, please. Taste. Peppers can occasionally be so sweet that they don't require anything. 

But if they need a little seasoning, pour a little olive oil over them, season them with a little salt and pepper, and top with fresh herbs like basil or parsley that have been thinly sliced. accompanied by warm bread.

INGREDIENTS

Bell peppers come in a variety of colors, but red bell peppers are the sweetest and tastiest.

INSTRUCTIONS

Turn the oven on to 450°F*. To make cleanup simple, cover the sides of a rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper.

Cut peppers in half lengthwise in the meantime. Take off the white veins and seeds. Peppers should be placed on parchment paper cut side down. (An alternative is to lightly coat the sheet tray with olive oil.) For 30 to 40 minutes, or when the skin is blistered and blackened, place the pan in the oven. Don't rush this process since the peppers won't be easy to peel if the skin isn't blistery enough.

The peppers should be put in a big bowl, and they should be covered with plastic wrap, a fabric bowl cover, or a tea towel. Allow sitting for a minimum of 20 minutes and a maximum of 4 or 5 hours (or longer.) Take off the skin and discard it after it is cold enough to handle.

Until you're ready to use, keep it in the refrigerator in an airtight container. When I don't have time to peel the peppers straight away, I keep them in storage with the skins still on.
