TIPS TO ROAST RED PEPPERS
This oven method for making roasted bell peppers is unbelievably easy. There’s no need for a grill pan or to put them in a broiler. Just place the baking sheet on the oven rack and let them bake. Here a few quick tips to get you started:
- Slice the whole peppers in half, and remove the stem membrane and seeds. To do this simply cut the stem from the top, then sweep a sharp knife through the inner ribs to remove the core and seeds from the pepper.
- Prepare the baking sheet with parchment paper. This will make sure the red peppers don’t stick to the sheet while they’re in the oven, and it makes cleanup easier.
- There’s no need to further prep the bell peppers with olive oil or any seasoning. Just, place peppers on the pan cut side down. You’ll add the seasoning after they bake.
- The peppers will start to char as they roast. Don’t worry, this doesn’t mean they’re burning. Roasted Red Peppers should be slightly blackened before you remove them from the oven.
- Let the red peppers cool and then remove the skin. Because the peppers had time to char in the oven it should be fairly easy to remove the skin. Use a small knife to quickly remove the skin, or do it by hand if the peppers have cooled enough.
