How to make roasted red peppers step by step

Step 1: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F, clean peppers under running water. Pat the red peppers dry with a cloth or paper towel. Cut the red peppers in half and remove the seeds. Cut the halves in half to make quarters.

STEP 2: Spread quartered peppers on a parchment lined baking sheet skin side up. Drizzle both sides of the peppers with olive oil. Cook the red peppers for 30 minutes.

Step 3: Once your peppers are finished cooking. Toss them into a bowl while they are still warm and let them cool. Once they are cool enough to handle, peel off the skin. The skin of the pepper should come off easily at this point. Discard the skins and store the peppers in a sealed container with the oil from the sheet pan. The left-over olive oil will be infused with flavor.

notes for success

Try your best to remove all the seeds and ribs from the raw red peppers. Make sure to save some of the olive oil, the oil is now infused with flavor and will help them keep longer.

Storage

You can store your roasted red peppers in a jar or sealed container in your refrigerator for 7-10 days.
