How to Make Roasted Red Peppers

It might be tempting to just buy a jar of roasted peppers from the store, but making them at home is so easy, more delicious, and you don’t have to worry about how to use the rest of the jar before they go bad. Once you learn to make them at home, you may never be able to go back to store-bought (consider yourself warned!). Simply add whole bell peppers to a bare baking sheet and roast until the skins are blackened and wrinkly (about 25-30 minutes at 500 degrees Fahrenheit or 260 degrees Celsius). Flipping the peppers at the halfway point helps them cook evenly. When they come out of the oven, wrap them in foil for 10 minutes to steam the peppers, making it easier to peel off the skins. Once you peel them and remove the seeds and stems, they’re ready to enjoy! See — so easy, right!? We hope you love these roasted red peppers! They’re:SweetTenderSmokyQuick & easy& Super versatile!
