Roasted Red Peppers
Learn how to roast red peppers in the oven or on the stovetop! Sweet and silky, these easy roasted red peppers are a great addition to sauces, pastas, pizzas, and more.
Ingredients
- Red bell peppers
- Extra-virgin olive oil
- Sea salt
Instructions
- To make roasted red peppers on the stovetop, preheat a grill pan or cast-iron skillet over medium heat, or light a gas flame. Place the red bell peppers directly over the flame or in the hot pan, turning as they blacken and blister. Cook until they are charred on all sides.
- To make roasted red peppers in the oven, preheat the oven broiler. Place the peppers on a foil-lined baking sheet and broil until they are blackened and blistered all over, turning as necessary.
- For either method, remove the peppers from the heat, place in a large bowl, and cover with a towel or plastic wrap. Set aside for 10 minutes to steam and soften.
- Uncover and use your hands to peel off the loose skin.
- Remove the stems, seeds, and membranes. Use the peppers whole or slice into strips. Season to taste with sea salt.
- To store the peppers, transfer them to a jar and pour in olive oil to cover. Cover with a tight-fitting lid and store in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 weeks.
