Ingredients

Scale

Bell Peppers

  • 4 large bell peppers (about 700 g), sliced

Seasoning

  • 2 tbsp (30 ml) extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp (5 g) sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp (1 g) black pepper
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced (6 g) or 1/2 tsp garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Peppers: Wash, dry, and slice the bell peppers into even strips to ensure they cook uniformly.
  2. Season the Peppers: Place the pepper strips on a baking sheet and drizzle with the olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, and minced garlic. Toss well to coat each slice evenly for balanced flavor.
  3. Arrange for Roasting: Spread the peppers out in a single layer on the baking sheet to avoid steaming and promote caramelization.
  4. Roast: Roast the peppers in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even roasting and browning.
  5. Peel (Optional): After roasting, peel off any loose skins if you want a smoother texture, though this step is optional.
  6. Serve or Store: Serve the roasted peppers immediately or store them for later use, ideal for meal prep and adding flavor to other dishes.

Notes

  • Use bell peppers of different colors for a vibrant dish.
  • If using garlic powder instead of fresh garlic, sprinkle it evenly before roasting.
  • Make sure to spread peppers in a single layer to avoid steaming and ensure roasting.
  • Roasted peppers can be refrigerated for up to 4 days in an airtight container.
  • Adjust roasting time based on desired tenderness and caramelization level.
